One of my cousins was injured when she was shot in the forehead with a BB gun. She recovered and was fine, but I still want to throttle the little miscreants responsible.
I saw my big brother get shot in the forehead with a BB gun. Before the delinquent could cycle the next round, my brother had possession of that gun. He smashed it rather thoroughly against a tree. Then he caught up with the escaping moron, and gave him a pretty good shellacking.
By and by people learned that my older brother was a rough and tumble sort of guy somewhat in search of excitement, which saved us younger boys a lot of grief.
