Care In Use
- Respect These Rules!!
| The
energy developed by most BB guns is 0.5 joules maximum - by
comparison a funfair air gun is approximately 10 joules (20
times more). In normal use the lightweight pellets would not
penetrate the skin, but would certainly sting or bruise. We
would not recommend firing at people but in any situation
where the pellet could hit a person safety goggles and clothing
should be worn. |

For
safety follow the Airgun Shooter's Code.
Airguns

These are usually much more powerful than BB guns and stringent
regulations apply. Make sure you follow them - see warranty
