BB Guns

BB guns (sometimes spelled bbguns) are the perfect introduction to shooting sports: they're low-cost, easy to handle and operate, and offer hours of shooting fun. They shoot round BBs through typically smoothbore barrels, as opposed to shooting oblong pellets through a rifled barrel, and most use CO2, pistons, or pneumatic power.

Even if you're already familiar with bb guns (or bbguns), a pistol or rifle is a great way to enjoy an inexpensive and carefree experience. These are great guns for backyard plinking (shooting cans, etc. for fun), casual target practice, training purposes, and situations where a more powerful gun isn't practical. Because of the relatively low cost of these guns and their ammunition, they make finding out what type or model you like or picking up an extra one very easy and affordable.

Some people think a bb gun is a toy or only for children. While people of all ages can enjoy affordable BB guns safely, they're not toys. Shooters of all ages should use proper safety equipment and techniques, and kids should be trained and then supervised at all times, even while using something as small as a pistol.

It's important to remember that these guns could cause serious injury or worse if not handled properly, especially when using anything that has a velocity equal to the most powerful BB gun. Because most BBs are made of harder material like steel, they do tend to ricochet, so it's important for everyone in the shooting area to use eye protection. "You'll shoot your eye out" isn't just a funny saying they made up for a movie.

Advantages of BB Guns

Many models are replicas of current firearms that serve as excellent training tools because they have similar operation and details, such as the overall weight of the gun and the action and trigger. A shooter who buys one of these reproduction models can maintain familiarity with the real steel version without having to book range time or find and purchase expensive firearms ammunition.

In addition, historical replicas can function as excellent collector's pieces that can be displayed with pride, whereas an authentic model may be unavailable or unaffordable. There are a variety of cheap bb gun replicas of famous guns from World War I and II, as well as revolvers from the Old West, and all of them let you experience guns that are hard or impossible to get otherwise.

Finally, these guns are often the least expensive option around, even compared to guns that shoot pellets. It's easy, safe, and cheap to have fun with affordable bb guns, especially if you get a repeater that lets you empty the magazine incredibly quickly for maximum excitement.

People who have only used these guns as kids, or who know that they're a great way to get children started shooting safely, are surprised when they see the wide variety of bb guns available today, so get the best one for you from Pyramyd Air now.
