A BB gun is how my dad taught me to ride a bike without training wheels

Pumped it a few times and said well youre either going to ride away or get popped close range. You choose....it worked lol

Got it in my left ear hole when i was about 10. Had a really good war in the woods going until that point.

Grabbed my ear in pain, lowered my hand and saw blood on it, thought it just hit my outer ear. Went to my friend's house, his mom looked and said "you got a bb in your ear hole!, you got to go home."

Mom took me to some old frickr doctor. He had the hardest time getting it out. The thing i remember most is the warm water gushing in and out of my ear for a long time. Seemed like forever but he got it out with magnetic tweezers.

still have a BB in my hand from shooting myself in the hand the first day I got my BB pistol

I wanted to see if it would shoot through a can, so I held the can in my hand, put the barrel to the can, and pulled the trigger

The BB went straight through the can and into my hand

I wasn't a very smart kid


I was about 6 and my brother was 8 and we got BB guns. We had 'em taken away when my mother caught my brother and I shooting Dixie cups off each other's head.I wasn't a very smart kid either Luckily we were good shots.

Years later I got Benjamin pump 177 cal. that resulted in the death of many Robins ( when I had enough my mother would cook 'em for me),squirrels and 1 rabbit. I can't imagine getting shot with a 177 cal. or 22 cal. BP. I didn't shoot any one or get shot by any buddies who had one. I guess I was smarter than some of you guys.

Some kid in my school, 8 years old, had his eye shot out that way. The kids in his class tried to stone the shooter to death.
I reported the event as it was happening during recess. My third grade teacher said, " he shot some kids eye out, he has it coming".

For my part, a year later some kid tried to hit me with his BB gun and the cocking mechanism caught my guard hand and I needed 6 stitches to close up the wound.

Never actually been shot.

I was in a war zone as a kid, 7 and 8 years old. I found a live round and tried to open it with a hammer. It went off, went right past one ear.

If you can't be good be lucky. I nearly killed myself three times that year. Electrician experiment went bad, threw me across the room and back bang against the wall.

My brother and his friend used to break a toothpick in half, and shoot me with it when they wanted to go smoke pot. Some of them stuck in more than 1/4". I learned to GTFO when they broke out the BB gun.

Against the rules. We all had Daisy BB guns. But the game changed and we went to DEFCOM 4 when our buddy's dad bought him the Benjamin Pellet Gun.

Just think of how people would react today if there was a video going around social media of kids having bb gun wars..

Agreed but he shot me in the back of the neck during a truce. He started the rule breaking.

When we all had nothing but Daisy BB guns, we'd hide in metal trash cans cause the BB wouldn't penetrate them. All it took for a Benjamin Pellet gun was about 3 pumps.
