Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston

Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

We have a couple of those around the house. We shoot them in the basement at a box full of newspaper.

Going to use this one for soda cans, soup cans, and anything else I can find lol. Only thing I don't like about the new ones is the lever is plastic. I think you can still get the metal ones from daisy so that may be a wise upgrade.

:lol: this is one fun little bb gun. Pretty challenging to shoot soda cans and water bottles at 40-50ft. Have to aim high because even at that distance the bb drops a couple inches haha. Its very fun to bounce stuff around in the yard with it. Its a cheap way to keep practicing. :thumbsup:

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I conserve ammo. I have only loaded it once so far. Every time I shoot I go pick up any I see to reuse :lol:

If you shoot with the sun to your back you can follow the BB out to the target.
