BB Gun
A pellet gun or BB gun uses compressed air to fire a .177-caliber metal ball or pellet. A successful hit can kill a Size 1 creature, but on anything larger a BB gun inflicts a maximum of one Health level of bashing damage and cannot reduce the target to fewer Health levels than her Size. A called shot to the eye (see p. 165 of the World of Darkness Rulebook) can cause temporary blindness, or the permanent loss of the eye if the attacker achieves exceptional success. Most BB guns resemble actual firearms superficially, if at all.
Most BB guns are semi-automatic. In the late 1980s, a variant type called airsoft originated in Asia. Airsoft guns are full-scale replicas of real firearms that use electric motors driving pistons to power fully automatic fire. These “weapons” are rare outside of Japan, Hong Kong, the UK and the United States, where owners use them in sporting competitions similar to paintball (see below). Airsoft guns cost •• and have Traits identical to regular BB guns, save for their full auto capability and their potential for bluffing.
