    AMHERST, Mass. - Two eighth-graders who spent months working on a science project to prove how dangerous BB guns can be were disqualified from the state middle school science fair. The reason for the dismissal: BB guns are too dangerous.

    usually for science fair projects they have to get approved from the teacher, et al. So that is rather BS that they were disqualified since they were not told of that requirement. (Again I didn't read the actual, and am basing my argument solely on what Iz posted)

    If they don't have age issues with that, how can it be banned for being too dangerous? It's like saying that you can't drive a car because it is too dangerous even if you are old enough.

    I love Air soft, it is way cooler than Paintball, the guns look like real guns, tho the problem of not knowing when you got hit and not having any proof that you hit someone like in Paintball it a minus.

    It's more like not having a crash test with crash dummies because car crashes are so dangerous :roll:
