many soft air guns are very much lookalike.
there was a chap shot by police many years ago in a dimly lit hallway who turned out was holding a steel bar....might well have looked like barrel in conditions.... a hard call at anytime for copper to make.

Yeah but the shooting was in Petone, what would you expect, Was that a dawn raid?
