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 was watching my cousin shoot at targets on hay bales with his plastic pellet BB gun. After my sister asked him if it would hurt to be shot with one, my cousin smiled at her and said, "Ask your sister" as he shot me in the leg. I think my screaming was obvious enough. It hurts. FML
Today, my husband took me to an airsoft shop so he could try a new pistol. We went on the range to shoot it, but while he was loading it went off and shot me. I was only wearing my leggings, so I felt the full power of that BB as it traveled at 200 feet per second at my clitoris. FML
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
Today, I went to the gun range for a birthday and got shot in the foot by my mom. FML
Today, I learned what it felt like to get shot in the nuts by an airsoft gun. Thank you, 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 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 was doing target practice with my new paintball pistol. One of the bullets missed, and hit my new neighbor's house. I went up to the door to apologize, not realizing I was still holding the paintball gun. My ex-soldier neighbor thought I was robbing him and put me in a chokehold. FML
Today, I took my 15-year-old daughter to our local shooting range for her birthday, as she requested. While she was setting up a target in front of me, I jokingly pulled the trigger and shouted, "Think Fast!" not realizing that the safety was off. I shot my daughter in the arm on her birthday. FML
Today, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. FML

Hey now, accidents happen. Just the other day, while looking at my friend's brand new baseball bat, I accidentally bashed him over the head with it. Several times. I was so embarrassed. I can be such a klutz at times.

can't you kill someone with an airsoft gun depending on the placement? If you wanted you could press charges, or I'd just shoot her in the leg. Fairs fair.

Thank God i am not related to this person!

@2 it was just an accident, so no reason to shoot her back as he could have charges pressed against him. And yes you can kill someone with an air soft gun but it doesn't do much damage. It's most likely to miss any major arteries or organs

No you can't lol. I hope you're being sarcastic

I think the only way to possibly kill someone with an airsoft gun is if you had a really powerful one, were shooting metal bb's instead of plastic airsoft pellets, and shot them in the (open) eye from point blank range. But if you really thought you could kill someone with it, why would you tell OP to shoot her?

2- Air soft pellets are made of plastic. I'm pretty sure it's almost impossible to actually kill someone like that.

I reckon they go all 'they can actually kill you guys' at airsoft events just so new people are too scared to risk it and start shooting each other in the face. It's like when you take woodwork lessons and the teacher tells you of that one time a student totally got her ponytail caught in a machine and it ripped out her brain.

It's just a teeny little plastic pellet! I know it hurts like heck, but place charges? OP would be laughed out of court.

In my grade seven wood working class, a girl forgot to take the key(on a chain) out of the drill press and she lost half a finger!!!

1. I've never owned an airsoft gun but my bf has plenty and his ammo is pointed and metal. I fail to see how that flying at a high rate of speed can't kill someone. 2. I doubt the aunt did it as an accident as everyone especially adults know that you NEVER point a gun loaded or unloaded at another person. 3. obvs. shooting them in the leg didn't kill them and if the aunt did it on purpose then she deserved to know what it felt like so maybe she will refrain from doing it in the future.

The standard ammunition for airsoft guns are plastic spherical BBs, you can purchase them in metal but those are still round. The rounds your boyfriend has are probably actually for an air gun, I understand how someone who as you've stated yourself has never owned one could mix them up. But air guns at least in my experience are usually used for target practice to sharpen your aim, or to deal with rodents. Which is why pointed metal rounds are usually used in air guns. Also, going on the fact that some people might've found it dangerous for the OP's aunt to shoot them by accident, the gun was highly likely to have only been loaded with the standard plastic BBs seeing as the OP probably wasn't going to spend the extra money on metal BBs when plastic work just fine. Just a quick side note, this reply was not meant in any way to be rude or insulting to anyone, if it comes across that way I sincerely apologize.

Just curious, why would you have pointed metal ammo for an airsoft gun? I thought they were just for games?

It is possible to kill someone with an airsoft gun if aimed right, thats why they are restricted, have safety measures and use pellets that brake on an impact higher than the safety regulations allow.

Thank You #44! that cleared everything up for me nicely!

You might be talking about an airgun, which is more dangerous. There is a whole sport centered around airsoft where you shoot eachother. Airsoft guns shoot around 400 FPS and fire small plastic pellets. Airsoft is harmless as long as it doesnt hit your eyes so you should where safety goggles

That's not an air soft gun Hun. That's a pellet gun/bb gun #42

Especially an airsoft pistol can't do much. Point blank into your eye could blind you, sure, and it MIGHT (very small might) be able to kill you if you shot it directly down your throat. Even then, I doubt it. Definitely not in the leg, it hardly even hurts, especially with clothes.

I got to get an airsoft gun

You shoot have asked her if she knew how to work an airsoft gun.
pooldude 24
Terrible pun, my friend. Better luck next time.

It's only fair if you shoot her in the leg as well! All is fair in love and war!

I would hope an apology quickly happened after.
aimbug 42
I'm going to guess it probably didn't
aimbug 42
Hope you're alright Op. That's a pretty shit thing to do.
Dave_Davington 33
I think you mean shooty thing to do, right? Right? I'll show myself out. Again.

What were you doing handing a loaded weapon to someone else, OP?? Even if it was only an airsoft gun, it is still a dangerous toy and best practices for ANY sort of propelled projectile is to clear the weapon before doing anything else with it - especially handing it to someone who might not be trained for it! I hope you're all right. And though I think YDI to a degree, I'm sorry - getting shot at close range can REALLY hurt. At least you're not short an eye, which could have just as easily happened.

It doesn't matter what distance she got shot from, she is exatering a lot
LonelyBoy5920 15
Number 25, It does matter what distance you get shot fron, point blank is much more painful than a few meters away..
buckdharma 37
She shot you with your own gun? This is grounds for a dual. Stand back to back and both count off 20 paces... Too far? 10 okay? 5? On second thought maybe you should kiss and make up.
