BB Gun Drive-Bys in West Seattle

Two west seattle residents were hit in drive-by BB gun shootings last weekend, a police report says. Around 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, the man was walking his dog in the 6700 block of 35th Ave SW when he was hit by several BBs fired from a moving vehicle.

Minutes later, a woman on 35th Ave SW and SW Brandon was also struck in the leg in a drive-by bb-ing. The woman told police she was fired upon by a man in an older model Toyota or Honda sedan, which was dark blue or black.

Officers were unable to find the vehicle in the area. Neither victim was seriously injured. 

In 2007, police investigated a string of BB gun drive-bys in South and Southwest Seattle.

Interesting crime
I wonder what the motive or goal could be with this? I'm not asking for something deliberate and rational...just whatever quirky, screwed up "it made sense at the time" motivation lies behind this. What does the crime appear to accomplish, from the perspective of the perpetrator? Any ideas?

I'm Not an Expert or Anything Tim,
But I messed around with BB guns when I was a kid and I think that shooting someone with a BB gun is its own reward. It's funny, in a fart-joke, ha-ha-wedgies-and-titty-twisters-are-funny kind of way. (I do not endorse shooting strangers with BBs, nor do I encourage wedgies or titty twisters. I'm just saying.)
