Friends ran across some Red Ryders at CalRanch for $20 each and several of them bought one. I refrained because I didn't really think it would be that fun but it IS..... mainly depending on the games you set up. Fast forward a bit and I was in Rogers Ar with a friend so we took time to go up and visit the Daisy Museum. Quite interesting. While talking to the curatorit came out that the only bb gun Daisy still makes in the US is the 499.... so we each bought one. Later in the hotel room, we had a "National Championship " by stuffing a box with some towels for a trap and taping targets to it. LOADS of fun ! I bought a second for myself so 2 people could always be shooting when I break em out. Took them to our last FT match up north and got several of us trying to pop paintballs at varying distances .
Some Christmas ornaments, army men, plastic animals.... you're go to go for a while. When the skill level gets a little higher, paintballs can provide a good challenge.... fun for us old kids, too.
A 499 is a good shooting bb gun with a decent trigger. Use the precision ground bb's for highest accuracy .

I was in on that, and can fully attest that they're a blast. The previous month we were shooting little pieces of charcoal remnants from an old campfire. We were giggling like little kids as we kept connecting and bouncing them further and further away. The paintballs were quite fun too.
