    I don't think the weapon matters tbh, if you wanted to kill someone with a candlestick and gave it a go, that would be attemped murder.

    The nature of the weapon shouldn't factor Phillip. Wouldn't matter if it was a blunt spoon if the intent was there.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    They might have to prove what the intent was though - if the guy genuinely thinks the air rifle is incapable of inflicting serious injury (and apparently no injuries were caused) then his intent was merely to be a retarded pain in the ass.
