will this gun kill stuff?

It's advertised as a "super powerful marshmallow gun" but this guy is sending approximately 3000 grains of double AA batteries down range with at what appears to be 500 fps. I'm thinking this gun could be lethal!

heck a bb gun shooting slower could be deadly. i would say yes that thing is potentially lethal with a well placed shot

Well the Army considers anything moving 600 FPS or faster as potentially lethal. Meaning shot placement would be what counts.

Now I know a bow goes much slower then 600 FPS, as well as other lethal projectiles. But basically that is the speed at which any projectile no matter the size could be lethal.

Once you factor in the weight of the AA's which yeilds a high kinetic energy, I would say yes that thing is potentially lethal. A smack to the head or face would probably kill you.
