Air guns

[The New Paddy]

I watch today on a a TV show something about air guns Kids at the age of 13 killing there friends by shotting them in the head. What is the world coming too,13 years having air guns that can cost up too £1800.Who would let there kid have one of them at that price, and i no the people on this site dont like to gave paintball a bad name but people are thinking that paintball markers are air guns.What do you all think about this

I seen something on tv about a Guy Killing his friend (not on purpose) by Shooting him in the Temple PointBlank without Head or Face protection with a Paintball Marker.

Why would you even point a Paintball Marker at someone's face with their Mask off

I saw a reality TV show on SKY where a car load of kids in the states were doing driveby shooting with markers. They were aiming for the face and managed to knock a guy off his bike who was almost run over. The silly thing is is that the dumb buggers were videotaping themselves doing it. Bet that was a short court case.

air guns.

Its muppets like that who put paintball in a bad light;although we all know paint markers are very diffrent to air rifles it is exactly this type of behaviour that makes uninformed public see our sport as dangerous. How long before we need a licence to own a marker?
Personnaly I think there is something wrong with the parents if 13 year olds have air guns or paintball markers unsupervised. I know its all been said before but the more T.V. coverage etc. that we get the less we will be connected to these type of incidents.
