I live in a city so shooting practice is not an option for every day. I can go to a range but I dont want to pay to shoot every day. Is there a bb gun hand gun worth anything to give a true shot for accuracy practice (I have about 30-40 yards to shoot).

Thanks man.

Another question, does the ammo I use matter? I mean, obviously a poorly balanced bb wont shoot true but I know there are different types.

1) I am looking for a pistol
2) There is a limit on how much a human can physically pump air into a confined rigid space, so either your gun had a safety overlimit valve or you did not get that much air in. You would have to pump with hundreds even thousands of pounds of force without an overlimit valve. Its just physics. you have to pump the air in at the same force it comes out.

Do it you can deffinatly work on some shooting skills with a BB gun. As a shooter I would recommend getting a pump bb rifle and what ever realisticly weighted handgun you can find. Although you won't be able to prefect real shooting what you can work on that will carry over is trigger control and a smooth pull which is crucial for accuracy with any style firearm. your best bet for ammo would be metal circular BBs for the handgun and either circular bbs or pelets for the rifle. Make sure to read the specs. some air rifles are serrious hunting weapons and arnt safe or legal to shoot in a residential area. Trigger control though. Best thing you can work on off the range

That is good advice. I am a very good shot with rifles, I want to work on my hand gun accuracy.
My main focus was going to be to shoot accurately on a raise (I.E. a shot from a downed weapon). But, a smooth trigger pull with a hand gun/non-rested gun is a good thing to work on too.
10/10 for this and those who helped so far.

my friend has this one:


it's called a drozd. Idk if it's accurate, but with a fire rate like that you'll probably hit your target:)

a pellet gun would definitely be the way to go. from my experience, BB guns don't give you a consistent shot that can be used for working on your accuracy
