Welcome! Sounds like we have a lot in common in our start, as I was in the same boat as you as a kid - I grew up shooting my friends pellet guns. But the big difference is that I am much older, so when I bought my first airgun as an adult (a Crosman 1322 with removable stock), there was no internet, let alone sites like this, to enable me spending my money. So I lived with the 1322 on it's own for a few decades, and it was nut until I hads of my own to teach safe gun handling that I even thought about anything different. Now I am well down the rabbit hole . . .
I remember getting my first spring gun, and even through it was a piece of junk cheap Chinese gun, I was amazed at the ease of "one pump, one shot" - had it shot well and hit what I wanted, that might of been it, but no - and now I'm a full on air gun nut!
So welcome again, and ask away with questions. There is a lot to learn just be reading, but sometimes a question will get you there if you can't find it out on your own - it can be hard to even know what to really ask in the beginning . . .
