I asked awhile ago about a good "starter rifle" for my son. (I appreciate the responses!) I didn't state his age, which is 5 years, however I've been having him with me when I go out to clear varmits from the property of my folks farm (12 guage shotgun) - my son has been carrying a BB gun that is at least 25-30 years-old ... it has virtually no power to it ... the BB's pretty much just fall out of the barrel - it takes 25, 30 or more pumps, for it to MAYBE "shoot" 10 feet - you can pretty much see the BB fly. I was thinking of getting him a more substantial gun (he REALLY wants one), and I am happy with his progress regarding safety ("#1-FIRST" MOST IMPORTANT - ALWAYS"!!!), knowledge, etc. I would like opinions on maybe getting him something he may enjoy more ... I was thinking of a "paint-ball" gun (?). All opinions welcome, and suggestions on a BB/pellet, or paintball gun would be appreciated too. I recently saw a BB "shotgun" - anyone familiar with such a weapon? Thanks,
