True if he hits them in the eye with a BB, it just might work.:lol:

Grenades work well, too. Just don't stand too close.
And remember to duck.

Re: Can BB guns be used as personal security / do they hurt?
It depends what you are wearing.
If someone is wearing a thick coat they will barely feel a BB gun, however the noise it makes may convince them to fire their own weapon. Or stab the prick in the eye with a knife.
Seriously, go for decent security. Don't buy a gun unless you are willing to kill another human being to protect your belongings.

I agree, bd.
I have owned a 15 shot repeater very similar to this one for years, and let me tell you, I would dread getting shot with it. The specs say it's maximum power is 420 feet per second, but when you first pierce the C02 cartridge the first few shots come out noticeably harder. They don't tell you that. These guns nowadays are not toys anymore, they can kill, and this model is semi-automatic meaning you can fire 15 bbs as fast as you can pull the trigger. 15bbs traveling faster than 420 feet per second at close range aimed at someone's face could easily stop an attacker in an emergency situation if you aim correctly and he has no gun himself or something to block with. But just like a real gun, you could face murder charges. Mine is only for defense, btw.

Tell that to the judge after you shoot a man in the face 15 times.

Re: Can BB guns be used as personal security / do they hurt?
Then tell it to him and his mates when he comes back to get you, coz he knows where you live.

Ahh so BB guns have come a long way. I have been shot by a BB gun and it stung but that was all. It was in my skin but it didn't go through organs or anything.
I can't see using that for protecting my family at home. Either go for stopping power or do fuck all. Knowing someone has BB gun isn't exactly scary. Knowing someone has a real gun will make another think again and go elsewhere.

Re: Can BB guns be used as personal security / do they hurt?
airgun power is measured in fps, how many fps was the bb gun that shot you? hehe, i guess you didn't have time to check :P how silly of me sorry busygun man
crosman has this new semi-automatic model that operates off of bigger CO2 cartridges for added power. it can fire 12 pellets, which are heavier than bbs, at 625 fps(190m/s). that's not a bee i would want to get stung with, but that's just me. i'm not as tough as you.
and back on topic,
i would recommend pepper spray or something else. as someone has already pointed out, what are the chances they are gonna try to break in your house without a real gun? they will certainly be threatened by your fake one and try to kill you.

Re: Can BB guns be used as personal security / do they hurt?
I got shot in the eye point blank by my sister's bb gun once (it shot plastic pellets). Luckily I blinked but for about a week or so I had red dot on the white of my eye. Other than that it didn't slow me down much (ie if I had wanted I could have kicked shite out of my mate who did it but instead I made him buy me beers).

Indeed, if a criminal mastermind who has researched your security measures is burglaring your house then the 6 semi-automatic weapons is probably the way to go. However if it's the more common opportunist thief then his pre-planning probably isn't so thorough.
Do you know why you people are so effected by terrorism. It's because you have a predeliction to be. Watching too many movies and wanting to be in them. You crave the fucking melodrama.
Seriously, ask yourself this. Are you willing to kill another human being, or be killed to protect property. If you're not willing to pull the trigger and live with the consequences don't buy a gun. If you're not willing to move home don't point a gun at a violent criminal who knows your address.

Presumably you take them with you whenever you leave him on his own. Only returning them (as a loan really) when you desire to be pleasured.

Yeah we don't have Disney/Home Alone criminals over here. It's great to think that every person that breaks into a home just wants to take your shit and go away but alas we have lower morons who even after doing so, want to murder the folks in their home or even rape a 70-year old lady thus making the man hunt for the criminal more special. I'll keep with reality and not what I wish is reality.
@slim- gun ownership may be considered superfluous by some but for me, it is also idle. I only take a gun out on occassion for the shooting range. I also have stopping power for protecting my family....when and if I need it.
I have owned a legal firemarm for over a decade and have never had to use it on a person.
I hope it stays that way.

That's the point ffs. If you are going to pull a gun on a person you better be prepared to kill them. Because if you shoot them in the face with a bb then you're getting it. Either there and then or later when they come back for you.
There's nothing Disney about that, that's the way it works. Not by chasing someone away with a bb gun. Oh and whatever you think, whether it's your version of reality or not, it's people with guns in their home who elevate your levels of injury and fatality from guns. Either by people shooting themselves, or their family. Or by encouraging criminals to do it for them.

I am prepared to kill someone that threatens my or family's lives.:1eye:
I am not going to fanny about with a criminals intentions either by being overly passive. A person on my land is one thing, a person in my home is another. A person breaking in my home is automatically assumed a danger.
This person goes through the trouble of breaking in knowing there are people inside and hears an alarm and still pushes forward so he has the right to fuck right off with a bullet wherever one can make it into his body.
I do not have time to hash out whether they want a TV, money, my life, or a place to sleep. That's just mad talk. People can be right fucking evil and I have seen this first-hand.
That's the way it works. It sounds like your reality and mine are different. I just happen to know what I'm talking about for this neck o' the woods and apparently, your neck o' the theme park is different.

Re: Can BB guns be used as personal security / do they hurt?
Yeah, I live in Glasgow. It's really serene here.
I'm agreeing with you, idiot. I'm telling the guy not to fuck about with a toy gun. Either don't have one at all or get a real one.
Your view is he should get a real one, mine is that he shouldn't. However our advice is the same, don't fuck about with a toy one.
Oh and the last time anyone looked (UN) "SCOTLAND is the most violent country in the developed world, according to a United Nations report."
Guess which part of Scotland is the most violent. Go on, bet you can.

You can solve that dead easy, get a gun.
Then you have more firepower than the criminals.

Tbh, it's quite serene where I live. I just know that serene can turn otherwise no matter where you may live.
It could be the wandering vagrant or whateverthefuck. If I am sufficiently threatened I will try to put 'im down.
"That's the point, ffs" is a nice way to solidify agreement, btw, idiot.
