What kind of round is this? Just a primer?
They are powDerless, not powerless![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
Yeah, noticed and corrected
But facing 10 years in prison?!?
hmm, I play airsoft games competitively quite a bit... I wonder if the future of this is that I will be detained because I pointed and fired a thing that looks quite a bit like a gun, at a person.
in all seriousness, the guy's were idiots for doing it, but it was consented to. and I have probably gotten worse damage from a pellet gun when I was a kid. I wonder if someone would face similar charges if a simunissions round left a decent dent.

Friend of mine once wanted to show me that getting shot with a BB gun wouldn't hurt. Even offered to shoot at the thick vibram sole of my boot. I refused.
This, BTW, was in New Jersey back in the 70's.
The Super Colibri is the round that I was using at my Lodge turkey shoot. They are pretty wimpy... and I still wouldn't want to get shot with them. Every shooter wore ear & eye protection. But hey... if someone asks you to shoot them, you ARE free to say no... Still should be a non-starter for pressing charges, though.

This sounds like an uber 'catch all'. Like, if I was at dinner and I gestured toward someone else at the table with a knife in my hands, I would apparently be a felon.
Always revert to rule #1...
Say nothing to anyone about anything 'bad'.

how old are (were) they?
kids and adults are mentioned in that letter...
they are two dumbasses IMO. if a friend asked me to point and shoot anything at him (her), i'd probably punch em in the face and NOT hang out with them anymore.

The states case leans purely on the firearms portion and does have merit, regardless of the level of consent. The state could also attempt other angles for the prosecution of Bonar with reckless endangerment or negligence, but they have a slam dunk with the firearms laws already on the books.
Tough call.

I'd have to agree. These two idiots are absolute morons who make us all look bad. Although I do think the penalty is pretty steep, I don't feel bad for them either.
