BBC Journalist Mistakes BB Gun for 'a Rifle and Ammunition' at Walmart :: 05/02/2022
BBC journalist Padraig Belton tweeted his surprise Tuesday that he could not buy a computer cord for his laptop at Walmart but could buy “a rifle and ammunition.”
He attached a photo of the “rifle and ammunition” that showed the images of a Red Ryder BB gun and BBs.
There were other air guns in the photo as well, some of which appear to take pellets:
Amazon advertises the Red Ryder as a BB gun that shoots BBs at 350 feet per second.
Walmart notes that the Daisy 880, one of the other air rifles in Belton’s photo, shoots a pellet at 800 feet per second.
Sportsmans Warehouse notes that an actual rifle, like the wildly popular .223, shoots at over 3,000 feet per second.
