The two friends, both 34, from the Grampians region in Victoria, Australia, decided to undertake the experiment after enjoying a few beers on Sunday evening, Victoria Police said in a statement.
A few? Is that "way past the pub crawl" stage? :lol:

The pair thought it would be interesting to see whether it hurt to get shot with an air rifle and whether its pellets would penetrate their skin.

{snip}

Police said one of the men will have his firearms license withdrawn and his firearms confiscated.
You have to have a firearms license in Australia to own an AIR rifle? And you can have your license revoked and all of your firearms confiscated if you shoot your friend in the butt with it.... ...at his request?

Uhhhh....NO! Not even with a BB gun! (but Larry & I were out in the oat field hunting doves when we "shot" at each other with our .410's.) We were about 200 yards apart, and shot in the air in a high trajectory and pellets rained on us. (we never told our folks) :lol:

Jeez!! Just when you thought people couldn't get more weird. While he was down there, the surgeon should have performed a couple of lobotomies.

...that is, if they hadn't already lobotomized themselves with those pellets.

Interestingly, only ONE of them will be losing his license and guns. I wonder which one and why.
