Yes, but specifically, this is a pellet, not a BB. Due to their shape, pellets typically have a faster speed and greater penetration. Pellets are also not used for "play fights". You won't find an airsoft sport rifle that will because it is incredibly dangerous. This wasn't just someone with a Daisy. It moves this from "kid being irresponsible with a toy" to more likely "someone malicious actively trying to cause harm".
If we want to get as technical as possible, the comment at the top said "bullet from a BB gun" so that still could be true lol.
And is most likely correct, since it always seemed the most common pellet guns are pellet/BB air rifles
Except it's not a BB. It's a pellet. BBs are round. Pellets are shaped like this.
This sub is called "what is this thing?". Not "what could this thing have come from". We're identifying the object, not what kind of rifle it could have come from.
If you really want to be technical.
