Why would anyone shoot anyone else with a BB gun?
A BB is a fairly dense and small object, and even if it is just propelled by compressed air, it is still a painful and potentially dangerous object. The difference between BB's and airsoft ammunition is density. Airsoft is much less harmful because it is packing less of a punch over a larger surface area.
