Boy, I do! I wanted a BB Gun soooooo bad - all my friends had them, but my parents were overly concerned with my safety (oldest child). Finally at 16 (my peers had owned BB guns for years by then) I got a pellet rifle. I was disappointed! First off, it was a single shot, and CO2 (pellets + CO2 = $$) AND I was only allowed to shoot it under supervision. Eventually I traded a tape player (boom box!) for a covert BB gun and learned how horribly inaccurate at least that one was... Still had a lot of fun with it, but I haven't owned a BB gun since.

A greater Christmas party prop never existed than the RR for people that like to shoot. One of the best times I've had shooting a gun was at a friends garage with at least 8 of us having team competitions trying to shoot pop cans off the flat concrete by seeing who could drive/knock them off the far edge the fastest! A little aiming fluid, as we call it, only intensified the laughter!
