Not really... Come on man, i think you know thats not true. BBs are small round projectiles. Pellets are different. BBs are typically limited to 5 grains. where as pellets go up 50 cal. Doesnt seem like you really know much about the thing that you're talking shit about bud. That's just like saying america and canada are the same thing or i dont know coors and bud are the same thing.
That one percent doesnt seem like it's getting you all the way man. Not to undermine said approval of asi's point, but using a firearm in a confined space does have the problem that could you know do bad things to your ears, especially a mosin nagant. I have never been in a home defense scenario but i assume you would want all of your senses. With an airgun you can dump the half the magazine and still have your hearing to deal with any additinal intruders where as with a firearm (atleast a mosin) i would assume after one round you get something like the tank scene in the first episode where rick shoots the zombie inside the tank. Sure, ear protection. Duh, but in the heat of the moment you could forget it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KdBA--DMNQOh believe me I know exactly what I'm talking about. You can try and dress it up with a different name, but it's still a bb gun. The one percent is going above and beyond what I need for this "argument".
So, you're saying that your bb gun is better for self defense because "omg loud noises"? Anyone with a gun knows exactly what will happen when they fire in their home in the middle of the night. That's why you don't just start shooting wildly like an idiot. Go ahead and dumb half the mag in your bb gun, I guarantee you that after the thieves hear the first shot they'll laugh and then kill you. Even if they don't have a gun, it won't matter you won't be able to stop them with that bb gun.
You want to see how effective it really is? Get some ballistic gel and do a real test with 4 pieces of denim and everything. Sure the bb will sting or maybe penetrate bare skin, but it won't stop someone from trying to rob/kill you. If anyone ever breaks into my house they'll get 3 slugs of .45 to the chest and I'll never even think about putting hearing protection on.
Your bb gun is for sport, that's it. It's for target shooting and small game (like in asi's video). But trying to say it would be good for self defense because it's quiet and "Looks like the real thing" is just asking for trouble. Your thought process reminds me a lot of a pre-teen in high school that would try to validate something like this, because his parents won't allow him to get the real thing.
It's a lot like the ricer idiots who put huge body kits a $40 coffee can muffler on a pos camry and think it's a race car because "it looks the part". That bb gun is for fun and practice and that's it, it'll never save you in a real life scenario unless you have a doppleganger that thinks exactly the way you do.
If I broke in your house and you shot that little thing at me, I would literally shit myself with laughter as I haul your tv out the front door and you sit there and try to pump it up again. You can buy a tazer for less money and it'll be more effective then that. You already have a purse so it'll be perfect.

Im not disputing asi's statement that a firearm is better for self defense, only that this isnt a bb gun. Are you under the impression that everything that isnt a firearm is a bb gun? That just seems what its like lol. A bb gun fires a 5 grain projectile where as this comes in .25 where the pellets go up to 40 grains.. Kinda of a difference there. My old wimpy co2 gun had around 2 foot lbs of energy this.. more along the lines of 45..
