They are beginner shooters. I have looked at some models but unsure which to buy. How heavy? Any particular brand? Spring Loaded or other? Please advise. Thanks!

if you are trying to teach safe shooting habits
i would recomend a regular Co2 powered BB pistol. and preferably one with a metal outer caseing.
for 2 reasons.
first if you are teaching them about guns. then it should be a gun.
Airsoft guns are usually plastic and fire wither plastic pellets or 6mm paintballs. this gives the idea to the kid that it is a toy. and that is a disaster waiting to happen.
if they want to get into the game of airsoft (combat battle game much like paintball. i would recoment that they just get directaly into paintball. the paintball markers are more reliable and last longer. and there are more people that play it.
a good recomdation for an airsoft gun pretty much anything made by TIPPMAN pnumatics. they make airsoft, paintball, and a variety of other air powered launchers and machines.

First off, you're kids need to know how to be safe with an airsoft gun. Also don't buy a gun that is a "clone" (an airsoft gun made with cheaper parts to resemble another higher quality airsoft gun)
The only brand I am going to talk about is Cybergun, DO NOT buy from cybergun they have a reputation for low quality guns. Since they are beginners I would recommend spring loaded because they are cheaper in cost. I would also advise getting one with low FPS (200-275) because of their age. That is my best advice.
