A BB gun is an Air Gun. Now if you are asking is a BB gun better than an "Air Soft" gun that is different. As for better, well it all depends on what you want it for. A BB gun will do more damage than an Air Soft gun. But that doesn't make it better.
basically an air gun has hollow pellets to a bb gun a bb gun has metal balls so they are basically the same gun but with different types of bullets
The oldest known air rifle gun was invented by Girandoni of Vienna about 1780, for the Austrian Army.
Yes
they are the same gun
The oldest working pneumatic air gun dates back to the 1580's. Girandonideveloped a repeating air rifle for the Austrian army around 1768.
It's better known as a BB Gun. A BB gun is similar to a real firearm except it uses compressed air instead of gun powder.
An automatic electric gun would be the best
You need both.
The question can't be answered unless you specify what your intended use is
Model 454 Mfg 1972-82. Crosman no longer repairs this model but you can search the web under "Air Gun repair" and find a location near you to repair it. However remember that this gun in PERFECT condition is only worth about $50 at best.
No compressed air would be better for accuracy as well as your gun. Its like co2 but at a higher pressure with cleaner air and no liquid that can damage your paintball marker.
Depends on your final intended application.
b/c we developed better stuff to build them from.
