Also (for jan) - Mythbusters recently did a program where they tested
how far various guns could shoot underwater (both fired in the water as
well as from above shooting from above into the water). Turns out that
even a high powered, military .50 cal sniper rifle won't put a bullet
into the water more than a dozen feet or so. So unless your pond is
REALLY shallow, a BB gun almost certainly can't hurt the liner (if you
even have a liner in a pond big enough to attack snakes).

I'm so relieved. ;-) Not that I'd try it, even if I was inclined to, as I
surely would be the exception to the rule. ~ jan
