We grew up with BB guns, and I remember having huge wars in the woods with them, with cousins and their neighbors. We would all just shoot directly at each other with no regard whatsoever for safety. My brother and I generally wore jeans or trousers, and so were less vulnerable than my shorts-wearing cousins, not to mention I wore heavy, thick glasses. I remember one of my cousins got a BB buried in his leg.. fair amount of blood trickling down. Minor injuries were common, but luckily we all kept our eyes intact - pure luck.
Wow. Did your parents realise you were doing this?
Presumably - it was they who bought me the BB gun. I'm just saying if parents buy kids BB guns, they should expect them to shoot one another with them.
