I don't quite know what an air gun is but I'm thinking it could do some damage too if pointed closely at a chest. Who told him it was an air gun anyway? Not that it matters now.
Either he thought he was going to get away with murder with this lame excuse or he is a complete moron.
Still, I hate those Airsoft guns. They make me nervous. I don't get the point of making them so exactly like a real gun that even LE are sometimes fooled.
Mr. zig's son has 2 paintball guns and an expensive airsoft gun. I once took him to the indoor range to fire my S/W snub nose 38. He'd never shot a real gun before. He got nervous the minute it went into his hands - he could tell the difference immediately. He fired it a few times, it hurt his hand and basically scared him chitless so he opted for no more. I don't know how anyone could make that mistake.
DH and our buddies used to be really into airsoft guns. Those buggers hurt!! I don't think any of them (even the less than bright ones) would have shot a sleeping person in the chest. Leg, arm, rear end? Yes. I also do not think they would have just grabbed a gun and used it. It would have been one of their own airsoft guns that they were familiar with. The only "excuse" I can come up with for this guy is they were using the guns the night prior, he didn't know there were any real guns in the home, and then grabbed the gun in the morning thinking it was one they used the previous night. Make sense? But then, why would someone have a gun just laying out......
Sad, today a friend sent me an email with a video, this video was a "Prank gone Bad" also. Guy hiding with a mask, girl comes home, on cell, sets groceries down, turns around, sees mask, runs out the door and into the street. She got hit by a car and dead...the video was disturbing because it showed it ALL! I'm mad at my friend for sending me that, not even giving me a warning of what I was about to see.
Just a warning to everyone if they get that email titled "Prank gone Bad (wrong)" Don't watch it!
The article doesn't say, but I have to wonder if the shooter had been drinking.
I don't own guns, don't like guns, and never had even a BB gun as a kid. But even I know better than to shoot someone in the chest--even with an air rifle.
I have heard about this video. I hope you will feel better knowing that those were actors, and no one was really hurt.
I am so sick of seeing videos of people playing stupid, if not outright mean "pranks" on each other. Light-hearted jokes between friends that enjoy it, is one thing...
Um not sure it was a fake one, because the car really hit her, it had to be some amazing editing job.
Originally shot as a 4 minute short film, the 'court case' reference in the beginning of Exhibit B-5 is supposed to be the "backstory" of the short film. *Please note that other people who stole/downloaded the video from youtube uploaded only the last 1 minute of the short film and posted the 'not fake' or 'Prank gone ...
It's a student film, and I guess they did a pretty good job of it. The actress is Cindy Vela. Here is her facebook page where she posted the video:
