This video from Banana Ballistics investigates the lethality of the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun by comparing its performance against a high-power pump-action BB gun and a 12-gauge shotgun. Through rigorous testing on pork butt and ballistic gel, the analysis reveals the Red Ryder's significantly limited penetration capabilities, deeming it non-lethal for typical body tissue impacts. The expert assessment highlights the importance of understanding airgun power levels for safety and realistic expectations.
The Crosman Legacy 1000 air rifle, purchased for under $50, fails to meet its advertised 1000 FPS claim, reaching only 774 FPS with alloy pellets and 662 FPS with lead pellets. Despite the velocity disappointment, the rifle demonstrates surprising accuracy, achieving a dime-sized group at 10 yards in windy conditions. It's considered a good value for its price point, though pumping becomes difficult after 8 pumps.
