A 22 caliber rifle is a firearm and a BB gun is an air gun (Not a firearm)
Now if you are asking about a .22 caliber air gun then the difference is in the size of the projectile. A BB is a hard round .175 caliber ball. The .22 caliber is a larger
size pellet.
Which model, what is the condition of the BB gun or is it a BB rifle..
Around 1845, in France. These were .22 BB caps. It is not a BB gun, but a firearm that used a cartridge smaller than the 22 short. The .22 Short was created in 1857, the .22 long in 1871, and the .22 Long Rifle cartridge in 1887.
The BB Cap was the first type of rimfire ammunition. BB stands for "bullet breech." It was invented in France around 1845, designed for the Flobert indoor target rifle. Not to be confused with a BB gun.
I would suggest an AirSoft BB gun. Not a Paintball or steel BB gun. Unless you have someone who is familiar with firearms then I would get him a Daisy Buck BB rifle and an adult to teach him the respect and rules of handling the rifle. The "Daisy Buck" is designed as a starter BB rifle for youngsters.
BB gun
BB Guns are not designed for hunt. For hunting you will need a pellet rifle. preferably a .22 caliber pellet rifle. BB guns are designed for just plinking around and are not very accurate beyond 20 feet.
Lets start with. The model 342 was a .22 caliber pellet rifle not a .177 cal bb gun. If you want an estimate of value then you will have to give more information as to the condition of the rifle. with out more information it is not possible to answer you.
Austria invented the first air rifle in the 1500's. The BB rifle was invented in the USA.

This is not a BB gun, but it is a Pellet rifle made between 1984-85
