Paused at the perfect moment to get this shot.
I wonder what true speed the ball bearings ejected at. I’m purely guessing i believe they were under enough momentum to end this dude if they headed towards and connected anywhere above the waist. Look how many there were inside that tube. Oiled buckshot

...And this is if they were only .177, standard airgun ammo. They look bigger than that to me.

I saw a video of a 212 idling with the shroud on it, but no video of any damage.
