Yeah by an air pistol!
Walking back from the pub as you do with my mate, pppphhhhttt. 10 feet away there's a sound in the bushes to our right!
Round the corner and walk towards the pub and again, pppphhhhttt, about 5 feet away from us.....wtf was that!?!?!
Keep on walking past a bunch of nippers and birds about the age of 17+ and then hear a shot again that hits the telephone box that we were really near to! Call the police and guess what, the local police station shuts at 5.00pm and the nearest station is 20+ miles away!
We wait up the road for about 10 mins and nothing happens apart from seeing the group dissapate and disappear into the night. I'm now gonna expect a ring on the doorbell any second by the police to ask questions but if the local station had been open all night then they'd have been here quicker.
If we'd have been hit, either of us, there would have been uproar in our area....the thing is when I looked at one of the nippers who I think fired the pistol, it looked like he had a holster of some kind over his tracksuit top. I'm probably a marked man now, because as I reported it I had a fair few people looking up the road at us.
I'm not trying to be a killjoy here but for god's sake that could easily have blinded or killed either me or my mate and I'm not happy :-(

That's exactly my point. What made it worse was the fact that they probably didn't know we were walking along towards them. Big hedge and tree in line of fire.....if they'd have aimed for the tree then I or my mate could have lost an eye.
Don't know about you but I like to be able to see with both eyes, if through my own stupidity I manage to lose my sight then so be it but to have it taken away by some stupid eejits "having a laugh" then I wouldn't be best please :-(

indeed it is silly. i myself used to mess about with gat guns (those poxy 1.77 thingies), and a hand made catapult. was a regular dennis the mennace. never shot anyone tho.
It would take out an eye though.
What kind of idiot carries an air pistol around?
And as for shooting at someone, that's just stupid. It should be an automatic jail sentence for even carrying one, let alone firing it at someone.

fair enough, but it is seriously doubtful that an air pistol/rifle would kill you...
