    Air Rifle Kills Teenager

    Just heard on the news a south Auckland teenager was killed by an air rifle.
    Shooting cans at the back of a property. All I know at this stage.

    That is so sad. Just goes to show you the need for safety knowledge for all firearms.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I have stopped shaking me head at stupid avoidable occurrences like this, I just accept there are stupid people out there and it happens.

    I heard the Auckland NZDA guy on the radio talking about how he thinks there needs to be more restrictions on air rifles.
    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Should't be shooting that kind of thing in a back yard. I mean some of them are hitting with more grunt than a 22.

    Teenager killed playing with airgun - National - NZ Herald News

    He said air guns were "powerful weapons that have potential to kill or seriously injure".
    Sigh... no, they're not "weapons". Very deliberate wording there.

    None of the 177-22 cal ones that I am aware of would come even close to the energy of a 40gr sub let alone high velocity

    If that's the case, my mistake. Even so a 1200fps 17 cal pellet (or 22 cal) has to be able to do some serious damage. I'm not sure what the pellets weigh.

    When I'm out bunny shooting I'm always careful about houses in the distance, even km's away. ALWAYS watching whats in my line of fire. These guys were shooting in a suburban backyard. How could it not occur to them that it might not be the smartest move.
