Bb Gun Fun!

<div class="IPBDescription">Safe way to have BB gun wars!</div> Well, I was recently toying over the idea of making a BB safe to shoot at your friends, but not a wimpy 1 foot shot. You see, a regular BB is simply too painful, and Airsoft is too expensive. So I tried q-tips. Unfortunately they didn't work. Nevermind that! I simply tore the foamy ends off, cut them into 6 peices, and voila!

Your gun will probably jam. One more thing-
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
Even though these things are weaker than a rock throw, they can still harm your eyes. Be careful, and aim well!

    To be honest, this sounds like a pretty quick way to break your gun.

    Hasn't broken mine yet, and its been quite a while. As long as you load it from the front, I beleive you will be fine. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    BBs hurt ? The plastic ones ?

    Really... wow, I must have a high pain tolerance because I hardly feel those things. Now... paintballs, those hurt sometimes. Especially when trying to bunker down, and get a glance of things and being popped right in your head where you hair starts.

    Yes, you can get plastic BB's, and no they don't really hurt. But same thing applies about wearing goggles or something.

    never heard of a plastic bb before...

    ive got a sniper rifle that takes aluminum bb's (and actually is only accurate to 30 yards)

    Absolutely.

    I don't think the metal ones hurt that much, but it's been a long time since I've felt one of those. Go buy some plastic ones, if you can't get them around you I would <i>certainly</i> go online and buy a load of them, they are really cheap, and if metal ones hurt that much, they are definetly worth the shipping cost.

    Metal ones can do everything from leave a cut (not <i>too</i> deep) to just bounce off you depending on the range. Having a friend jump out from the corner as you round it is not a pleasent experience. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    EDIT - Are the plastic ones the white ones? If so gimmeh!

    Oh, well paintballs leave red/green/yellow/black/blue welts about from the size of the round, to about half the size of your fist based on where you got shot.

    i got hit by a paintball that didn't break on my upper thigh it hurt like hell, after a while i realized just how lucky i was ... 1/2 inch away from the REALLY painful area, and it left purple spot the size of my fist ...

    i was playing airsoft. i use these smaller goggles, makes me feel like i've got better freedom than with huge ones, you know?

    i'm behind a dumpster, waiting with my g36c

    someone rounds the dumpster when i'm not paying attention, i can't trace him fast enough

    he bursts diagonally across my face, hitting my face mask twice

    and then getting me in the face between my goggles and face mask. there was an exposed part.

    so yeah it left a bb sized welt. it was point blank with an upgraded gun ;_;

    it was all bleeding and nasty. and then it looked like a huge zit for about a week and a half.





    the moral:

    huge bruise/welt = "hey, paintball accident"

    zitlike scab = [sigh] "no excuse, don't play with your acne." -_-

    I used to muzzle-load my GAMO C02 pistol with 8-10 BBs. They fire out in a semi-spread pattern with fairly low velocity, not really enough to hurt a person wearing clothing. I wouldn't recommend it, however, as I did tweak my gun to use less gas.

    take a word of advice, NEVER make an airsoft blunderbuss out of a pnumatic potato gun, I dumped 2 bags in and got shot (evil relatives), needless to say OW!

    Cripes, just find a weak shooting bb gun and play with metal ones.

    Me and my brother used to do this out back with two rather defunct guns that didn't shoot too hard anymore. They still had the range, but couldn't even break skin. Left a bit of a nasty bruise, but it was still pretty fun, just wore sunglasses for eye protection.
