Man, you brought back some memories. I started out with a Red Rider BB gun when I was 5. Quickly moving up to break-barrel pellet guns that ranged from 800-1,200 fps. Single shot, but you only need one if your aim is good at that velocity. I lived in an area of Minnesota then where the farmers always needed 'pest control.' Had an incredible amount of fun and made some unforgettable shots with those rifles. Thanks for bringing it back. :)
