A Christmas Story, one of my favorite movies. TBS (a TV station) runs it all day on Christmas day.Don't shoot your eye out with that pop gun Reminds me of tht movie about Christmas.
The only way these could kill somone is from led poisoning. Otherwise, they just cause alot of pain. Maybe if someone was shot in the eye it could go to their brain.... i doubt it could kill someone with one shot. The rifle is also shoots one bullet at a time, so i have to break the barrel down and put a pellet in, then cock it back up to load it.
Yes, they do kill people. In Scotland last year a two year old boy was shot by an air rifle being aimed at Firemen tackling a blaze, and later died as a result of his injuries. Most air rifles can kill. It depends on the pellets used, and the muzzle velocity of the weapon. My air-rifle has the highest useable muzzle velocity of any currently avaliable, and I would guess at it being capable of going clean through your upper arm tissue, and out the other side at thirty feet range.
