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 and CO2 Guns
These are usually much more powerful than BB guns and stringent regulations apply. Make sure you follow them - see warranty and regulations.
