I wonder what an "accident gone right" would be.

When you stop to pick up a penny and accidentally save your own life.

I decided that if I was going to be shooting the thing, I wanted to know how much it hurt if one went astray. So I shot myself in the hand at point blank range. My friend laughed her ass off at me (1) because apparently the look of surprise on my face was priceless and (2) because it actually left a little crater in the centre of my palm.
Last words before I shot myself: "How much could it hurt?"

I've seen glass bb's for sale to. They would probably be very bad to be shot by :P

It shoots pellets at 1,600fps, faster than the speed of sound.

Well, how much did it hurt?

Less than a broken bone, but more than a paper cut.

So, I have a lead pellet lodged against the bone in my left upper arm. I can still feel it there if I search for it.
Needless to say that stepfather was a douche and eventually hit the road, but not without me having to forcibly throw him out of the house by the collar and belt.
Good times.

Non-lethal freeway collision with a penniless porn star.shiat, the script pretty much writes itself.

At around the age of 10, we made what were called "foo-foo darts" that consisted of a needle, some yarn, and tape so it would fit the barrel of our pistols. My friend's mom figured out what we were doing and she said "winter coats, and full shield motorcycle helmets and ya'll go at it." Damn she was cool...and this was us shooting each other IN THE HOUSE. Sure you'd get a stray calf shot now and again but a 1/4" puncture wound paled in comparison to the other stuff we did.
Another good bb-gun story...Dad said never shoot an old tire. So I did. What I didn't realize was that bb's bounce off rubber exactly back along their intended trajectory. Nailed me right in the lower eyelid and stung like hell. Luckily it was my brother's old Daisy rifle with worn out seals, so not much velocity. Years later they made "A Christmas Story" and I thought wow, I'm not the only one.

As a kid, long before paintball ever existed, we used to play capture the flag with those daisy one-cock rifles. We were smart enough to use goggles but those little bastards hurt if got a direct hit to a bone or exposed skin. Now days they make pellet guns that look like this:

Long story short, I pulled a bonehead move and shot myself in the hand just below my middle finger when I went to 'recycle' the BB (put my hand over the barrel and pulled the trigger expecting the BB to roll down slowly). An EMT friend who lived next door was able to remove the visible BB and dressed the wound, which was painful but minor, but the second BB escaped detection until about 2 months later, after the initial wound had healed and I noticed that it still felt like there was something under the skin.
An x-ray later it was found lodged against the knuckle, and I opted to have it removed. I've since lost the BB (they gave it to me in a specimen jar after testing it to make sure it wasn't leaching anything harmful.. it was pure copper so they ruled it harmless) but I still have the removal scar and an amusing, humbling story to tell.

bumkusfiveal: never known a bb gun to shoot pellets. now an air rifle...
Somewhere in my closet I have a breech-loading air pistol that can fire anything from BBs (metal or plastic) and pellets to darts (target and injection) and just about anything else that will fit into the breech and still allow it to close. My brother and I used to have q-tip shootouts in the house when we got bored. Only drawback was the reload time, but we're both fairly good quick-draw marksmen as a result.
