A BB gun is not exactly a toy. A BB gun can cause serious injury, or even death in certain circumstances. There are some that can shoot a .17 caliber projectile at 1200 feet-per-second (or faster). That's around the same velocity as some firearms and is very deadly. So even if the deputy KNEW it was a BB gun, I still think he should be justified in shooting the person pointing it at him in a threatening manner. “’It’s appearance was such that any person would reasonably believe it was a real firearm….”‘
