This
has my bullshit detector tingling.

But the article *is* from the Austrian Times - I just don't believe a word of it.

I've been shot loads of times with air rifles without any pellets in. Just air. And I can't see how that could possibly rupture someones intestine.

Another thing. How the hell did he get the air rifle up someones arse? Did his pal drop his trousers and let him shove an air rifle up his arse? And what about the sights on the end of the barrel? They would have ripped his starfish up something rotten.

No. I smell bullshit.

Cheers

According to that link it was a high pressure air line - not an air pistol. That makes a bit more sense.....
