55. I know

about the puncture. My youngest son's friend was hit by one, it went into his heart, The kid was 8 or 9 then, very skinny and lucky to survive. He spent almost 2 months in the hospital. That was more of a fluke than the norm.

It was a lesson my kid learned from. Whenever I point out that he is beginning to mishandle his BB, airsoft or fake gun there isn't an argument. I have googled pics of BB and airsoft, it seems there is really no standard for the orange tip. Not all airsoft have it and not all BB's have it. It must be determined by the velocity? Even on most of the ones that have the orange tip, the tip is very small. IMO the tip should be huge and molded with the barrel so it can't be broken off without damaging the gun.

Video games get a lot of flack for encouraging a kid's fascination with guns. What gets overlooked is that we have been at war this kids entire life. Our soldiers are our heroes and kids play war games, they have since I can remember.
