I suppose that while your Magnum's bullet is propelled by a tiny explosion of powder, the "windgun" either pumps up air or breaks a cartridge of compressed carbon dioxide. Anyway, while it's certainly possible to cause major damage with it, it would be hard to do it by mistake, and it's rather supposed to shoot targets or - in serious cases - to slow down your opponent.stan423321 said:(Wikipedia hints at "gas-propelled bullets")
EDIT: Wikipedia's description of air gun seems to indeed describe this thing.
Air guns are used in Israel to disperse protesters. Man, have we gone off topic.
