Recommend me a good BB gun
So Ive never owned a BB gun and thought it would be cool to get one. I dont think I want to go the CO2 cartridge route. Im thinking something more along the lines of air or pump powered, but I know they're not as powerful at CO2.
Fill me in on whats good and what to stay away from. Thanks wavey.gif

i had a good experience with one from walmart i think i paid ~40 bux for it, it came with a scope
was a pump
cant remember the name right now i think it was a daisy

Daisy and Crosman are definitely the best brands.
Break-barrel will give you the best performance, but pumps are cheaper. Don't get me wrong, pumps can get the job done.
If you plan on shooting varmint, then make sure you pick up some good ammo. Pellets will do more damage than BBs.

If you mean an airgun, I strongly suggest going with a break barrel pellet rifle. Something like a Beeman.
If you want to shoot BB's specifically (pellets can also be used), something like a Crosman Classic 2100 would be a good purchase.
I've owned a lot of airguns and I can guide you to a weapon to fill a specific role if you need it for something. CO2 isn't more powerful BTW. A good break barrel rifle will exceed 1000fps, some exceed 1200fps.
