I know for a fact cause I witnessed it happen, that a 22lr when fired from a marlin model 60 will go through a 78 model f150's floorboard and deflate and properly inflated 15" tire,
I also know for a fact, cause I also witnessed it happen, that the same 22lr when fired from the same tire shooter won't penetrate the toe of a pair of carolina steel toed boots with the muzzle placed right against it, but it will make the nail on the left big toe turn black and the toe too immeadiatily swell big enough that the boot will not go back on,
and it will also make the two boys, ages 6 and 12 laugh their asses off in the rain for the 3/4 mile walk back to the house in the woods and on a graveled road, while said tire/toe shooter repeatidly says " you boys bestill" and "bestill, you boys don't laugh, its not a Goddamned bit funny, bestill, bestill",
and I also withnessed that said tire/toe shooter had bad luck with knifes too, I once, withnessed along with the above boy, who was coincidently nicknamed "BOY", said above tire/toe shooter laughing at a joke and smoking a cigerrette while gutting a deer, stick a butcher knife in said right leg about 2 1/2 inches,
and even though me and said Boy were grown men, said tire/toe shooter/ leg stabber reverted back to saying "bestill bestill, you boys bestill now, its not a Goddamned bit funny I said, bestill now, Goddamnit bestill",
me and said "Boy", still laugh our asses off at the missfortunes of above said tire/toe shooter/leg stabber, but such is life when you do funny shit and have the missfortune of having witnesses.
Oh!..............and I've been witness that a BB fired from a RedRider will shatter the rear window in a 78' model F150 from a distance of 37 yards, and that a BB fired from the same RR will penetrate to the bone the area 1/2" below the lower lip when fired from 30 feet.
moral of the above incidents, don't ever get hurt seriously around me or above said Boy, cause we'll more than likely laugh our asses off from now on everytime said incident is mentioned, and if your hurt really bad, your liable to die before we stop laughing long enough to render medical attention.
