first of all in Australia airsoft is completely illegal. Aussie law classifies Air and BB guns as “Category A” weapons, placing then in the same class as break-action shotguns and rimfire rifles, and acquiring a licence to possess (e.g.) a pistol requires a rigorous process of police background checks. You must also have a legitimate reason and be able to prove that reason before you are allowed possession of a firearm, regardless if either airsoft or real steel.
Anyone found in Australia possessing an unlicensed airsoft pistol faces the same charge as a person who unlawfully possesses an actual firearm.
and yes, if you shoot a guy in the eye, they will get seriouse damage.

i doubt it could kill a small bird (unless it was a one and a hundred shot to a vunerable area).. but yes they are dangerous.. there are very strict regulations to what face and eye protection you need to wear on a santioned field… a shot to the eye could blind someone easily.. and dont think a pair of sunglasses will protect you.. use a mask specially design to take airsoft or paintball shots and nothing less. as far as body shots go.. they will sting but i doubt they will break the skin (ive seen it happen on high fps guns but not on 300fps) but i wouldnt say its impossible
