Answer 1

yup, a friend of mine chipped his tooth as well. i would for sure use some face protection, goggles are good, but i use a paintball mask. works well.

Answer 2

ok i'm an avid airsofter so i can tell you for certain, yes it can blind you. completely in that eye. NEVER play airsoft without goggles on. i've seen people get pretty bad injuries from just messin around w/o goggles. my advice is never to even FIRE one of these guns without adequate eye protection, accidents have happened and i've seen people hurt.

a direct or even close shot to the eye can and will cause SEVERE damage to the eye. and there's no recovering from that kind of damage

Answer 3

i dont know about piercing the eye but if you get a direct hit you can become blind. i know someone who got his tooth chiped off by an airsoft gun so wear protection or be a dumbass

Answer 4

Absolutely. The eyeball is very soft and easily damaged. What were you guys thinking?

Answer 5

anything that projects tiny things at fast speeds can damage something soft like your eye.

so basically, you might want to stop before you're forced to be blind.

Answer 6

It depends on how close and the pressure of the air soft gun but if you arn't careful it might just happen! It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt... then it is FREAKING HILARIUS
