so my son wants a BB gun for christmas... i have been out of the bbgun game for years since i graduated to chemical fired projectiles
any suggestions for a good beginner BB gun other than the red ryder, i already marked that one off.. been looking at daisy and crosman bb guns. also which would be better, a single pump or mulitple pump bb gun? |

A Drozd!
http://www.airgundepot.com/eaa-drozd.html I love mine! ETA. my 8yr old son does too... |
Gamo Whisper, I got one a few months ago, it has a built-in suppressor and 1400 fps! Scope included also 
i brought it from this place, very good prices. http://www.pyramydair.com/p/gamo-whisper-air-rifle.shtml |

bb's are for red riders or drodz. If you want pellet gun suggestions, please add your price range and your son's age.
The in thing right now is pcp - But with pump they start a hair under $400. If you go with bulk c02, the price can be under $300. Springers are out - to much moves when they fire for the average person to be accurate with them. A sleeper is the Crossman 2240-2250-2260 line. Decent quality co2, with tons of customizing available. |

definitely looking for pump right now as he is definitely a beginner.. looking at not more than $50 from some of the ones i have seen. he is 7
yeah a drozd would frigging rock but id like to get him into the handling, marksmanship, take your time and squeeze on the target first before weo go full auto, plus I would be playing with the damn thing and he would never get a chance at it
