BB guns
Spring-powered toy rifles
BB guns are air-powered guns that fire small metal or plastic pellets called BBs.
They're used for target shooting, pest control, and as training tools for young shooters.
Though less lethal than firearms, BB guns can cause serious injury: Don't point that BB gun at anyone.
The BB likely refers to the pellet size—between B and BBB shot.
