In the USA it is 18 for rifles and shotguns, 21 for handguns. Same ages for their respective ammunition as well. I think BB guns and AirSoft are 16. Keep in mind though that local and state laws also come in to play.

In Washington you can own one at 18, but you have to keep it at home... you can't get a carry permit until 21.
