I honestly think he had every right to do that in that situation. Kid aims a gun at you and gets a spanking? Kid got of light...

I'm guessing it's a BB gun, but still not good to point at people

Yeah it makes no difference, a gun is a gun.

Not really true in practice. Airsoft and paintball are guns in form and function but they are intended to be aimed at people for fun.

Even with Airsoft/Paintball you would practice gun safety, and not point them at people who are not part of the event, or who are but are not actively ready to participate.
