Stings like a motherfucker, can break skin depending on the BB material and velocity. It also sends a clear message; I can see and hit you from here.

I use .177cal steels at 400fps. Unless i could pop a nut, it would probably just annoy them

With the right bb gun, you shoot them in the cheek and they get to spit out the BB. Even airsoft guns can embed into your skin, lots of videos with people "popping a pimple" - squeezing out a bb from their forehead.

It can potentially take out an eye too. You won't "shoot your eye out" like the kid is warned in a Christmas Story, but you could definitely shoot someone else's eye out.
