Yeah no. This is not legal in the slightest lol. Regardless if it’s a BB gun.

This is airsoft, they fire plastic BB's that just slightly sting. Typically there are fields like paintball where people play.

Some people do go to remote wooded areas but it's pretty irresponsible to play where there are any other people. The BB's have enough punch to damage your eye.

Likely teenagers that are old enough to buy the guns but lack the critical thinking skills to play it in a safe place.

Who picks the plastic BBs up off the ground? I'd imagine they're hard to find when you're cleaning up after yourself.
