How to Pick a BB Gun

A BB gun is usually a child's first experience with any type of firearm. This gun uses air, pumped into the chamber to release a small round BB when the trigger is pulled. BB guns are great for target practice and are a good introduction to firearms.

Instructions

- 1
  Choose a reliable brand like Daisy. Daisy has been in the air gun business for over 100 years and promotes proper gun use and gun safety education.
- 2
  Locate the velocity marking on the gun box. This lets you know at what speed the gun shoots.
- 3
  Determine the velocity level that is appropriate for your child. The chart on the box will give you an age recommendation based on velocity.
- 4
  Pick a BB gun based on how your child will use it. Guns are labeled in a variety of categories right up to match or tournament level.
- 5
  Sign up for a gun education program for your child after purchase. Air guns teach the same techniques as firearms, so this is the most important step in beginning a lifelong respect for firearms.
