A BB gun is a weapon which fires small projectiles called, appropriately, BBs. They are less dangerous than regular firearms which fire bullets, but are very dangerous just the same. They can cause serious injury and, in rare cases, even death to humans. They are frequently used to hunt small animals and for target or recreational shooting. Some states and countries have legal restrictions on the ownership and use of BB guns.
