I call em "BB Guns" myself. :p Final answer. After all,, they are just little airguns we here have fond memories of as kids growing up. Ill never forget my 760 going completly thru a can!! Course Ill never forget the smile on Dads face when I could hit them cans with my trusty Cros. 760 EVERY time in front of Dads Friends when they could not hit it with thier powder burners.
Weapons?
? I think not. The "BB Guns" we all love so much are: Quiet little shooters that we can shoot almost anywhere that pose no threat of great damage compared to high powered powder burners,,,,,Ever shoot a 30-30 inside your house?? Ever shoot a 1377 (for example) pistol inside your house?
(Dont LIE!!) You betcha!! They are BB Guns,,,,,,,,,,,,,, GEEEEZZZEEEE,,,, Tim.
