ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS
The six basic safety rules are the foundational rules for gun safety. However, there are additional safety points that much not be overlooked.
Never handle a gun when you are in an emotional state such as anger or depression. Your judgment may be impaired.
Never shoot a gun in celebration (the Fourth of July or New Year’s Eve, for example). Not only is this unsafe, but it is generally illegal. A bullet fired into the air will return to the ground with enough speed to cause injury or death.
Do not shoot at water, flat or hard surfaces. The bullet can ricochet and hit someone or something other than the target.
Hand your gun to someone only after you verify that it is unloaded and the cylinder or action is open. Take a gun from someone only after you verify that it is unloaded and the cylinder or action is open.
cheap Airsoft guns, alcohol and drugs don’t mix. Alcohol and drugs can negatively affect judgment as well as physical coordination. Alcohol and any other substance likely to impair normal mental or physical functions should not be used before or while handling Airsoft gun. Avoid handling and using your gun when you are taking medications that cause drowsiness or include a warning to not operate machinery while taking this drug.
The loud noise from a fired gun can cause hearing damage, and the debris and hot gas that is often emitted can result in eye injury. Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting a gun.
