"What are the bb guns like?"

Ive made this thread to find out what the bb guns are like on this site cos I wanna buy one although i`ve already got 4.

Possible bb gun targets:-

1.Tin cans

2.Plastic bottles

3.Glass bottles (may smash)

4.Photos of people you hate

5.Homemade targets

6.Targets bought from SR :)

7.Bottle tops

for my 15th birthday my dad got me a co2 pistol and ive just bought my fifth bb gun which bloody hurts when you get shot.
i shot my dad with it and he was shouting like hell.if you wanna know what it is its the HA-117 and my one before that got a little crack got in the bit that you pull back and we couldnt fix it cos it was sealed together that was the walther p99 bb gun which you can buy on this site (with free goggles :)

I think Special Reserve are starting to go a bit far and crazed with power. Soon they'll be selling cheap sports bags (cheap as in tacky, not cheap cheap) and nike trainers. The same thing happened to this shop in our town.

It was C&N cycles (raleigh). They started out as a bike shop then started doing skateboards, then computer games, then bb guns, then tacky crap clothes, then toys. And now they've shut down.

Just a warning.

The age limit was 14, but was 'upped' a while ago.

I got my BB gun when I was 14...

Either I got it illegally, or the law has changed!

In the US, BB guns have the end of the barrel coloured red. It's a legal requirement there. Same thing here wouldn't hurt.

If you have a BB gun in a public place then you're breaking the law. I should know as I had one taken off me by the Police when I was younger. If you shoot a BB pellet and it lands in your neighbours garden then you're technically breaking the law, the law's stupid and they really don't warn about this kinda crap. Maybe a decent notics about this on the gun box or at least something would help.

Was pretty funny/scary though, a squad car turned up and they got all their CS gas and sheet out. Was lucky though, they could have arrested me...also lucky becuase they didn't get the full on gun squad out. Problem with with BB guns these days is they really are hard to distinguish between a real gun and a fake, some interfearing old bag decided to phone the police on us thinking it was a real gun, because if I had a real gun I really would sit on a wall in a built up area shooting tin cans.

You noticed before I replied... :-)

18, actually.

But the law states 17.
