    I’m looking for recommendations for an airsoft gun, whether it be a rifle or handgun.

    My Son William was eying them up last week and I thought it would make a great X-mas gift for him and a great way to introduce him to handling a ‘firearm.’

    He will shoot his eye out.

    Fleet farm has a good supply of them. My son has a few. Didnt seem to matter what he got a month later there was something better he needed. It was good to see the old tradition of the boys heading off into the woods for BB gun fights is still going strong.

    That’s where I got the idea to ask for reviews. I was flipping through the online ads just post by Fleet Farm here on IDO.

    And yes, he probably would attempt to shoot out an eye. That’s why if he gets one he’ll also be getting a set of goggles.

    Don’t let him shoot vinyl siding on a house with one. In cooler weather, they’ll put holes in the siding. Done a lot of repair work for that exact reason over the last couple of years.

    To start off get him some sort of gun with a spring, not the co2. Either a pistol or shotgun..

    Tom: Check out Pyramyd Air for reviews and then choose where you want to buy. They have real good info.
    Good luck.

    I had one of them in college. I know what kind of trouble those things attract. Not sure what got me into hotter and deeper water….the paintball gun or the water balloon slingshot…

    What is wrong with you guys. Potato gun all the way. How else can you have that much fun with some PVC, an aim and flame, and some Aqua Net hair spray

    Santa said my Daughter is getting a GAMO pellet gun for X-mas this year. One of those in the house is enough this year…
