Safety of the spring powered Chinese airguns has come into question and
rightly so the bear trap fails severing thumbs cutting chunks out of
fingers unwanted discharges shabby manufacturing with out any regard for
safety the proof we like to say is in the safety and on some Chinese air
guns there are no safeties and there's your proof. Here is a proven
method we use on all our Chinese spring powered airguns.

BB and pellet guns are widely purchased for
children and teenagers. Although these firearms are often
thought of as “toy guns” they can cause serious injury and death
just as any other type of firearm.
Due to the increased concern over BB and
pellet gun-related injuries, 14 states have enacted laws
regulating the sale to those under 16 years of age and in some
the age minimum has been raised to 18 years.

On average in the U.S., there are
approximately 30,000 persons with BB and pellet re lated injuries.
The majority (81% of those injured are children and teenager (CDC,
1995).
Between the years 1980-2000 at least 63 deaths have been caused
from these types of firearms (U.S. Consumer Product Committee,
2001).
It has been documented that children using multiple pump BB and
pellet guns can achieve velocities as high as 900 ft/sec. This
velocity is comparable to many traditional powder handguns whose
velocity may only be 700-800 ft/sec
The wounding effect of any missile, such as a bullet or pellet,
is a function of its size or speed. A pellet traveling at the mere
velocity of 130 ft/sec can penetrate the human eye; at 350 ft/sec it
can break through skin and penetrate some bone
Projectiles from air guns account for 63% of eye injuries that
occur in recreational injuries
Often, the majority of injuries result from
an unintentional shooting of an adolescent male who either shot
himself or was shot by a friend, acquaintance or relative
A high percentage of those shooting injuries
occur in and around the home where there is no adult supervision

This was done by an RWS-48 at about 15 yards. The gun accidentally
discharged and hit inside right arm as I was setting up targets. The
Gamo Master Point penetrated the skin and traveled toward my hand
tearing the flesh and muscle on its way to a dead stop on the bone 2
small veins cut and a loss of tissue. Some people still don’t think air
guns are dangerous. I've been shooting for 30+ years never close to any
thing like this. Trust no one or anything mechanical. I posted this to
let the unaware see the damage air-guns can do after you get past the
300 fps gun, watch those adjustable triggers. That’s a 2 1/2 inch cut
with meat removed. |
