Canadian Airgun Forum

Just read the news about it, it's 6mm plastic BBs...

A driver called the police when he felt something hit his car and saw the BBs fell down from the windshield and saw a lady on the road side screaming at the time then he also find his car was damaged ( wow ~ so powerful 6mm BBs)... And more than 10 police came and said picked 5 BBs as evidence... And the victim (?!) told the newspaper, in the past a year, he met the same situation for more than 10 times!!

Obviously someone living in the same area keep doing the same thing for a year and still nobody get caught.....

How wired it is.....

Well would you be pissed if someone purposely shot at your car and put dents in it that wasn't there before? Airsoft BB can break glass, and dent sheet metal. Some people die due to the shock ( heart attack ) of thinking someone shot them. Or if window was open and got hit, you could lose control of your car. Ever stick hand out the window and get smoked by a june bug or large bug? Its serious matter. Lucky it HK, and real guns are kinda banned, but still with airsoft someone should find who ever and pound them senseless.

Still criminal behavior. Same as if someone doing drive by paint balling. People get seriously injured and just the step below using real guns.

Yeah, agreed. Just wondering it's a year, and this crazy guy still keep doing the same.... The reporter also mentioned he found about more than a hundred of the BBs used and looks new, aound the plants, gardens in the area... So that means this guy just playing with his gun(s) all around for long time....

As the driver mentioned when he got off the car and noticed a unit window ( all high Condo appartments there ) from lighting up through to shut off totally and with blinds lowed. However the police still can't find anything...

So, the gunner was supposed shooting from the window on upper levels to the road... I believe it's not very close to the car and ppl ( although the driver didn't mentioned what level he found the lights off afterwards), I doubt a 6mm BB has this powerr to make dents on a car from the distance....

In the beginning I thought that's steel BBs but pictures followed letting me know it's the white color normal 6mm plastic BBs, weighted 2 or 3g normally? I don't remember...

Plastic Pellets 6mm Air Soft damage or break windshields? - people shoot each other with those things for sport. How could they be powerful enough to break a windshield - I do not understand how they could do that, yet not hurt a person.

Are those air soft guns more powerful than I thought?

Now, if the 'shooter' was shooting steel BB's form a BB gun - yes- they can dent metal and break glass.

Well It could break a side window. Ive seen people with broken monitors because they shot them. Some put shields in front of the optics to protect the glass. So the answer is yes they are powerful enough to dent car metal. Alot of results on car sites about fixing dents from someone shooting airsoft at cars.

Nope ~ not breaking the windshield, the BBs dented the top panel of the car, then the BB 'fell' or say bounced down through the windshield and let the driver saw it....

Usually a small rock from the car in front if you on the high way may not able to crack your windshield, how can a small plastic BB did that?

Bottom line, its irresponsible behaviour. It's people like this(they're all over the world), that make liberals impose regulations and laws that make it difficult for us regular folks to enjoy our hobbies, sports etc.

Kids just playing around I imagine. Forty five years ago in Kitchener we used to hide on my friends front porch with pea shooters spitting peas at cars. We would aim for open side windows. We were about 11 years old. We never thought of any consequences.

Same times we walked around the city with loaded pellet guns looking for bush's in the local parks to shoot birds. Even would get pulled over by police and they would just say be careful.

We would hide on friends front porch with fishing line tied to a wallet on sidewalk with a dollar bill hanging out and when a unexpecting person walking up sidewalk and would go to pick it up we would pull it back to us. they would always laugh when they heard us laughing behind the half wall on porch.

Wanted to play a game back then you had to take a bus to the pool hall and every game cost you a quarter. We had to make our own entertainment.

totally agree...


yes different times for sure...but you cant compare a pea shooter to airsoft...
i remember running around with the old potato guns...and cap guns and pellet guns and home made slingshots
it was like the wild west lol...you cant be waving anything around now though
