It is the warning shot. Can you tell which shot hit the guy first,
neither will the cops?

Yeah, but who fires a warning shot with a BB gun? Probably make the
perp laugh as slams a chair on your head while you're pumping up that
Daisy for the "kill shot."
Well, a pellet gun *is* better I guess. Had one myself.
I'd probably stare the guy down with my piece and tell him,
"This here's the .22 Crossman, the most powerful pellet gun ever made.
It'll blow your earlobe clean off. So go ahead, make my day!"
The Brits probably have better than the Crossman I had.
Rifling made it accurate, but I doubt it would get through bone, skull
or ribs.

One of the problems in my corner of reality is grafitti. The
consensus is that the only way to stop it is to smash the skull of one
of them and leave the vandal's body, holding the can of spray paint
and laying under the half-finished vandalism, to rot for a day or so.

Outside of what you're saying, I've heard the only solution is to
quickly remove or paint over graffiti. Ugly stuff.

Dead graffitist's body in front of their half completed work is better.

Sure, sure. Same for litterers and the punks who spill oil and
anti-freeze on the ground.
Don't even get me started on dog**** and PWC's.
