I started with one, by the end of the year I had 17!!!! Then I decided to get rid of some of the "less desirable" ones and focus on the purtyer ones. Now, a few years later, I have a few really nice ones, and a few I tinker with, oh and the half dozen that are my kids/wifes guns:) I've gone "full circle" so to speak as well, first I just had springers, then I got into CO2, then all of the sudden I had a couple 10M match guns, then 3-4 PCP's, and now I'm back down to springers, one PCP and a few other varieties. I've never met an airgun I didn't like,.....for awhile:) Next is probably an AA TX200, then I want one more PCP, maybe a MAC-1 USFT? Not sure, but I know there will always be "more" to have.
