This was a Daisy Powerline 880S pneumatic rifle. They have the capability of shooting BBs at 750 fps, which is 3/4 the velocity of a .22. The BB would easily penetrate the skull of a human.

Broken record time: It was a negligent shooting, not an accidental shooting.

I have some subsonic 22 bullets that have the same M.V.
