Just for the sake of clarity, Kirk... Ricochets aren't infrequent occurrences with airguns and if the pellet was made of steel, not only are they more likely to ricochet, they can bounce back with their whole initial velocity. And any rifle or pistol can have a hair trigger. Having said all that, kids shouldn't ever be fecking around with airguns. They're ridiculously dangerous.
Poor little kid.
