"Strangely, there is no damage"

 

Strangely, there is no story.........slow day in Cov. Bring back Lady G!!

[defender]

Sounds like one of those airsoft guns when they say pellets hitting the car

[Bazooka Joe]

Barrels....must be a typo..

[Benkent]

Barrels so there was more than one perhaps it was a minigun obviously an airsoft one hence the no damage.

'blasts her car' lol !!!

Sounds about right. I would expect an air rifle to cause a noticeable mark.

[TIGHTCHOKE]

What a complete NON story!

If it hits a window it may not. I shot a scrap car window with a ratcatcher and it didn't do a thing to it.

[ShootingEgg]

If that was an air rifle Id expect damage to the car, and if it hit the window how did it now break or alteast chip/crack

[Wingman]

It amazes me how anything remotely shooting related is reported in this sensationalist manner, just to continue to reinforce the negative perception of guns and shooters.

 

Now of course some little scrote with any form of air weapon soft or otherwise shooting at a car is an idiot and deserves to be locked up, but its just the way that the media jumps on it that bothers me.....

[old man]

What a complete NON story!

I wish it was, sadly more fodder created to cause more problems for legitimate shooters?

 

Did I read a call out time in the wee hours but the so called victim saw the perp had a real evil look in his eyes?

Is it a 'non story'

Now obviously you lot are all battle hardened combat vets, but put yourself in say ' your youngest daughters shoes'

 

The worst fear you have ever had in your life was when 'Sharon wore the same outfit as you at the school disco'

Now this time your out driving and someone randomly raises a weapon at you and clearly discharges said weapon.

She is not to know it's a 'harmless airsoft' or 'real deal'- it's not like we 'never' hear of such a shooting in the news, maybe even a case of mistaken identity.

Now, for all your bravado I bet you lot also '****' yourself too.

 

Yes, journalism sensationalism rules- but that's what they do to sell papers.

If your worried it reflects badly on the shooting community, too late now. but like it or not the VCR bill and Scotlands airgun bill have/will reduce these muppets ability to do so.

Wasn't long ago that every car boot sale had a stall selling airsoft to every Tom, **** and Harry

+1 it's a woman stirring down the barrel of a gun,terrifying.

I'd have run him over. Cars are pretty tough tools when it comes to the crunch and can turn the weakest of people into a very dangerous unit if used to their full potential.

Saying all that,

A few years ago, I was walking in the street with my shopping and a kid ran out to me and unloaded an airsoft gun at me. He couldn't have been ten. It hurt. Couldn't catch him.
