Today, my mother asked me why her new airsoft gun wasn't working. I explained to her that it doesn't actually shoot air, it requires pellets too. She looked at me like I was too stupid to be her son. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my aunt asked to see my new airsoft pistol. Not thinking anything of it, I handed it to her. She shot me in the leg. I was standing next to her. FML
Today, I learned what it felt like to get shot in the nuts by an airsoft gun. Thank you, Mom. FML
Today, my sister shot my dog with my airsoft gun. When I told my parents, she put on the fakest sobbing I've ever heard, said she didn't even know how to use a gun, and that she saw me shoot my own dog. They believed her and think I need psychiatric help. FML
Today, I was showing my friend's dad an airsoft gun I was hoping he would be interested in buying. It's a pistol worth about 90 bucks. In the midst of showing him, I thought it would be funny to do a fake, upwards "pistol whip". The mag ended up flying out full speed and hitting him in the eye. FML
Today, I saw a gun on my dad's bedside table. I knew it wasn't real, so I picked it up and posed like a badass. Then I shot a hole in their bedroom TV, blew out my eardrums, and my mom flew in and started screaming at me. FML
Today, I went shooting with my dad and he brought his grandfather's rifle with him. I’ve never shot it before and he told me to be careful with it. The bullet exploded, ruptured the barrel, cut my face, and made me deaf in one ear. Dad still blamed me for “not shooting it properly.” FML
Today, I went to the gun range for a birthday and got shot in the foot by my mom. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML
Today, I saw my dad's friend across the street working on my neighbor's roof. To continue the airsoft war we'd been having, I shot at him with the sniper gun I'd bought. I hit him, and he fell off the roof. I ran over to see if he was OK. It wasn't my dad's friend. FML
Today, my mom decided to try her new taser on me while I was asleep on the couch. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Cant't blame her, though, the name "airsoft gun" can mislead you.

It seems that her look wasn't airsoft.

Your mom was just surprised to learn how to operate an airsoft gun.

You don't have to have a novel or witty comments just because you are one of the first.

It's not THAT bad. I used to be apprehensive of playing airsoft with my cousins, until the day I took a paintball to the crotch while playing paintball with them instead.

Well I was also only about 12 at the time so all I remember is feeling a lot of pain and crying :p

Haha airsoft guns are supposedly such fun, I wanna try it one day but I'm pretty sure its illegal here (except regular BB rifles)

Airsoft guns are quite fun and games until some scumbag brings one that's CO2 powered and has the bullets travel at 412 mph. I learned that the hard way, and had welts up my arm for quite a while after. The damned thing was actually made out of metal and heavy enough to be a real gun.

Where are you from? They are usually legal in most places. (Country wise I don't want to know your address)

It really depends on the gun as well as the weight and quality of the pellets, and of course the distance it is fired at you from, for how bad it's gonna hurt. I love to play both paintball and airsoft and my husband has some great guns for both games. I can say this much... I would rather take a pellet from a generic department store airsoft gun than a paintball from any paintball gun. BUT I would rather take a shot from any paintball gun rather than my husband's souped up airsoft sniper rifle. The thing is solid metal and fires these special heavy pellets at ridiculous speeds and trajectories. I have seen what those pellets do. Even after having my ex accidentally shoot my arm point blank with 5 paintballs and having to dig out little shards of paintball shells from the wound.... I would still take it over the sniper shot.

24, their location (Australia) is on their profile. In other notes, I put 412 mph in my last comment, but I meant 412 feet per second. Derp.

Generic department store airsoft guns hurt too! My ex (bf at the time) and I had just bought guns to shoot cans cause we were bored. He tells me to shoot him so he can see how it feels. His reaction? Shoot me back. He said he didn't mean to and it was just reflex. Yeah right. :( we were probably only a foot away from each other.

Airsoft guns dont hurt at all

33 - That's terrible! I can't believe he's legally blind because of it. Was he mad?

The first time you get shot by one yes it will hurt but after being shot by one a lot you get used to it.

Actually pro airsoft guns don't hurt them at much because they are usually regulated at 400fps or less with a .2gram bb or and snipers (at least at my field) can do 550fps but have an med of 100ft
robotiick7 23
58- I play cqb, so over where I am the fps limit is 350.

Try your bare neck with an air soft. That friggin hurts.

Don't blame her, it's a woman and they usually don't know this.

That's super sexist.

So put a pellet in the airsoft gun and shoot mom upside the head!
Helpfulman 17
Unlike you, he's not a complete asshole and wouldn't do that because she's his mother.
saba_ajira 29
Just take it as the opportunity to teach and enlighten her!
sdroze1389 31
well at least she didn't have a real gun. right?
iAlissa 34
Though if that were the case, it would definitely benefit everyone to tell her that it just shot air.

#14. not sure if you were trying to be a douche to me or OP. text doesn't properly portray sarcasm.

Blow in your mom's ear. She's a airhead, and clearly is in need of a refill. Good job! Now go back to playing air guitar.
