minus-square@halcyoncmdrlink5•8 days agoI haven’t watched any videos of these, but even a .22 can be lethal if used right. Getting shot in the arm with one probably isn’t going to kill you though.
minus-square𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍linkfedilink3•7 days agoA BB gun can be lethal, but for that matter, that gauss gun looks heavy enough to be more lethal throwing it at someone than shooting them with it. I’m not dissing the gun, but rather scoffing at the absurd hyperbole of the authorities about lethality. It’s stupid, and they’re stupid.
