Guns..

[J0Al1]

Hi

Anyone know about guns... pellet (BB) guns to be precise.

Want to get something easy to use (robust) for me to target practice with my son...

Any info would be helpful

Thanks

How much are you looking to spend?

Don't want to spend more than £50 (I'm sure I might have too tho)

Either pistol or small shot gun...

This kinda thang . .

A pellet gun and a BB gun are different things. Pellets have much better range and accuracy. I'd say a BB gun is accurate to about 10-15 meters, pellets up to 100m with a rifle.

BB guns can also fire plastic BB's (airsoft) and get be bought as electric automatics. Pellet guns are generally manually powered using something like an under lever. So depending on how old your boy is he might not be able to cock a decent one.

Buy one second hand out the paper or something.

7, so BB prob better for his age...

Thanks for that info, know they are different, but wasn't sure how different.

Except that the one linked does both pellets and BBs
Not amazingly accurate, but ok for a mess around - I've got a 2005 (similar model).

On that, actually... welcome to borrow it if you want MissEd.

[J0Al1]

It say's metal BB's which threw me a little...

It's just for fun, so accuracy doesn't mater. Simplistic, but hard wearing is what I want.


That is really kind of you G ... I'd worry about it getting lost

Like the sounds of this...https://www.allgunsdiscounted.co.uk/Gamo_Auto_P23.htm

The G2005 version is a bit better - about twice the length of the barrel.

Definitely not up to a proper air pistol for accuracy at distance, but the bb repeater bit is good for general fun.

Oh and with kids around, probably best to make sure you know where an air pistol is kept, but <shrugs>, the offer's there .

Go for an air rifle.

One I got years ago cost £40. It was new, some chinese thing, but it's pretty good and seems "bulletproof".

Haha, get the AK i think!
The shotgun was okay, but loading took a while as you had to put each BB in one at a time. Also the automatic safety coming on meant you couldn't just pump and shoot without reaching round every time.

[Hetzer]

How old/big is your boy MissEd? Typical rifles, and that AK47 you've linked, have a length that means it won't be much use to a youngster. My boy is nine and still can't shoulder his air-rifle.

My dad got me that shotgun one when I was about 9, I found it recently and the build quality is horrible. You pump it and the whole thing twists.

For young kids I would say pistols are better than rifles. We also had a walther c02 ppk that was great fun, but depending on age and how sensible he is I wouldn't get one.

Go to your local market / weird and wonderful shops.. (No, not those kind )

I got a BB gun a few years ago for £10 or something, it's metal and does the job, especially for a kid!

Also hurts like a bitch when your mate gets it and shoots you from 2 metres away

Can't believe the thing still works, just got it out for a play

Haha
