use to have one by a company called "Beeman" back in the day, it was a great BB gun.
Now I have a Gamo, came with a scope, it's pretty powerful too. My dad had his face too close to the scope the first time he fired it, and it kicked back and cut him on his brow. He didn't expect it to recoil.
It's a Hunter 220 combo. 1000fps.

both of them were break barrel. All the other kinds I've tried just felt cheap.

If you ever get hit with one with just a tshirt on you will definitley know it but it makes for some fun out in the woods with a few friends and some safety gear

Besides, you can't kill those pesky crows and squirrels with an airsoft gun, but any good .177 or .22 cal pellet rifle will with ease.
Beeman is a great company, but most break-opens are pretty much the same. The only difference is life span, the US made ones tend to outlast the cheap Chinese made ones.

The Uzi is overrated anyway, especially the bastardized ones we get.
Pest control is important in the farm areas, and a pellet rifle is infinately more useful then a weighted plastic toy gun. I'm not talking about randomly shooting little animals.
A plastic toy gun that costs $300+ is just ridiculous.
