I am going to buy a BB gun this weekend but i've never owned one before. I've been around real guns and paintball frequently, so i know my way around some firearms. Does anyone know a good BB gun for really cheap? haha i was looking at the Red Rider one for 20 bucks...good deal?

Price range?

I'm 16 to clear shit up. I'm really only interested because my parents will be gone this weekend and i'm having a few friends over to drink, and i think it's a ridiculously good idea to get smashed and handle weapons. which is why I'm only interested in ones that could potentially kill one of us.

haha the red rider.

dont get that one if you actually want to have some fun.

when i was like 12 i bought a Crossman something or other. basically you could put a scope on the dove tail. and you could pump it different amounts for differing amounts of power. and it only was 30 bucks if i remember right.

get a shitty crossman for like 30 bucks. so fun i've had one for years, but since its so bad i'm not afraid to mess it up. i climb trees and all kinds of stuff with it because i don't care if it breaks.

this is totally unrelated to the thread.

but the crosman air gun factory is in the town i go to school in (bloomfield NY) and its right down the street from the high/middle school. when i was in 7th grade, crosman air guns asked for a few kids from my school to go and be a "test group" for some of the new product. me and all my friends signed up, and the next week crosman took us all, during a school day (for the entire day) to go see the new product, and play with the new shit. they also fed us a shit ton of free food (cookies, cake, doughnuts, hotdogs, cheeseburgers) and gave us a bunch of free shit. (t-shirts, hats ETC.)

so basically one time i got to skip a day of school to go shoot things and eat candy with my friends. it was cool.


buy a crosman. they are sweet. \

also, i totally understand where this guy is coming from. i get bored and shoot shit with a bb gun all the time, its nowhere near as dangerous, loud, or destructive as a real gun, so you can do stupid things, like shoot targets in your basement. the ammo is also cheap as fuck. i have enough to last me forever and it was just given to me by a friend.

BB guns suck. Not strong enough to make coffee cans literally explode, but they aren't weak enough to run around shooting your friends either.

Your choices are 12-gauge shotgun or airsoft.

you can definitely handle getting shot with a bb gun, especially if you only pump it a couple times.

i was at a cabella store the other day and i saw a pellet gun that shoots 1600 fps. holy shit.

but yea just get the ~$30 crossman one that shoots bb's and pellets. pellets are way more accurate and shit, and 30 bucks is a deal

I've had my skin broken on 2 pumps. Maybe it was just my gun, I dunno.
