Lol.....q-tips.
I bought 1 cheap airgun and quickly became ammorized and then bought an expensive gun and another expensive gun and looking at an even more expensive gun.
Been shooting guns for over 50 years and the money I'm saving on ammo gets quickly absorbed in the guns.
Lothar walther barrels will tighten your groups.....I've found.

Keep shooting and you will end up with a small fortune! Of course you have to start out with a large fortune, LOL

Heck Ya, the cheap ones are so much fun. Bought a Crosman 2100 to play with, then got a Crosman Powermaster 66 that was heading to a dumpster, resealed it and best shooter of the cheap ones. Also got a Daisy 880 and it is a close second to the 66.
Spent last winter making a basement range. Spinners 1-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch, some knock downs with pull string to reset, and of course a few of the small drink cans. I hang the cans by a string and love shooting them in half. It is so satisfying when the bottom half drops off after a shot.
The cheap airguns are a lot of fun. Just hard to keep stocked up on pellets. Have fun and keep the lead flying.

Cheap doesn’t mean bad, as long as they shoot well they can bu just as fun. I certainly shoot most of my gun cheap or not as long as they are tuned super low, sadly my impact doesn’t get to come out of its case very often.

When I bought my AA S510, my son-in-law asked my wife why I spent my money on toys. I have a FID card and several powder burners and the purchase of the AA confused him.
Fast forward 6 months. He and my daughter wanted to have a gender reveal party at our spread.
Of course he wanted one of those thermite colored exploding targets.
When it came time for him to shoot it with his wanna be AR-15, he missed six times in a row at 50 yards.
I asked for the rifle, and with one shot exploded the target.
I told him that with my "toy" I could cheaply and anytime I wanted hone my skills.
He didn't have much to say.

Don't know about Crosman m4 177, but the Crosman F4 Nitro break-barrel, made for Walmart to sell exclusively, in .177, synthetic stock, with rifled barrel, shoots straight and hits hard. Bought for $80, replaced Center Point 4X scope with Center Point 3x9x40, found unused on Ebay. Fun to shoot and own, looks cool, too.

I have started cheap with most, Crosman 2240 and have done some extensive modification on all, steel breech , good triggers, good sight, and am even building one for a Christmas present for my 10 year old grandson. I do have an HW 75, not cheap, and an old Beeman Original Six, recoilless air pistol. My cheapest air gun is a Crosman 2250 type, again with upgrade trigger, Willaims receiver sight, and a 21" barrel.
