Posted in: 2 men arrested for shooting girl with air gun from car See in context

Just to clear up some confusion in the comments - an airsoft gun is NOT equivalent to a BB gun.

The airsoft guns sold in Japan (most of my male students have had one) fire soft plastic pellets that, even if shot at from three feet away will not leave a mark on skin. They're designed for children to shoot at each other (though obviously they'd never be advertised as such). Of course there are more realistic replicas that sell for high prices that adults like to collect, the underlying ammunition is the same - soft, generally harmless plastic pellets.

Being hit by an elastic band hurts a lot more. The biggest danger is of course being hit in the eye or accidentally swallowing one.

What these two idiots did was definitely harassment and they should be punished, but unlike the comments here they did NOT attack the girl with a dangerous weapon. They attacked her with a toy.
