Ok. I guess I ment if a BB gun taking out your eye realistic? Or is it the same as like a back fire of a gun? If so how come we never hear it talked about with modern stuff?
For the most part, bb guns and pellet guns have been replaced with nerf guns.
Nerf darts are designed to bounce off eyeballs.
Growing up, I had a compact pneumatic dart gun that fired actual darts with needle tips. Those could definitely have taken out an eye, and are likely a controlled weapon today.
Just got the image of a nerf darts with the suction cup at the end landing on the eye prolly going to live with me a while thinks for that.
Because why do a news report about a bb gun incident when they can replay the same actual gun violence happening?
