Daisy takes the credit for the first modern BB gun that uses the 4.4mm BB around 1900. However air guns were around before that. Lewis and Clark carried an Air Rifle on the 1803-1806 expedition with them. It was thought to be a "Girandoni system" PCP rifle. Bartholomaus Giarandoni developed it around 1780. It fired 22 times on one charge, lead balls were 0.462" caliber.

What is the most accurate bb gun?
There are several very accurate air guns and rifles. Air rifles used in the Olympics are the finest. As an example the P75 Biathlon competition air rifle will cost you around $2,623.
BB Guns on the other hand are not very accurate beyond 30 feet.
Most sporting good stores carry them or on the web. Just do a search for "airgun sales."
How old you have to be to have a bb gun?
There is no set age limit. This is best decided by the Parent and child. If an educated parent feels it is the right time for the child to learn good safety gun handling then I encourage that they take the time to teach or have someone teach the child how to handle the BB gun. It's all about education and safety.
The age that I think is right for a child to have a BB gun is 10, because they would have seen enough gun accidents so they will know (hopefully) what not to do and what to do.
Depends on your parents and the police.
Take it to an authorized repair centerI put a little ww 40 down the barrel and then used a straightened wire coat hanger I shoved it down the barrel and then ran it through the hole where you see the bb load and the offender popped out, My bb gun is no operational
All depends on what you want to improve. the trigger? sights? stock? power? Your question is too vague to answer.
BB-63 is the hull classification symbol for the USS Missouri, a battleship of the United States Navy. The "BB" stands for "battleship," and the number "63" indicates its position in the sequence of battleships built by the Navy. Launched in 1944, the USS Missouri is notable for being the site of the Japanese surrender that ended World War II. It is now a museum ship, docked at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
How much psi is needed to propel a bb in a bb gun?
Some quick calculations gave me about 40 psi shooting a steel BB at 300fps from a 15" barrel. It seems low, can anyone out there corroborate these findings?
The difference of a 22 rifle and a BB gun?
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.

Start by reading the instructions that come with the BB gun. Different makes will work differently. Remember the safe rules of handling ANY gun- 1. Never point a gun at anything you do not mean to shoot. 2. All guns are loaded until YOU check them. 3. Know your target, and what is beyond your target. 4. Keep the safety ON, and finger OFF the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 5. Do not shoot at hard surfaces, water or ice. That can cause the bullet (BB) to ricochet- bounce off in another direction.

I recently wrote to a friend who works in Law enforcement in NY City here is his answer about air gun laws in NY.
1) They are prohibited in NY City (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, etc..) unless you have secured a license from the Police Commissioner.
2) In the rest of the State, they are prohibited by anyone under the age of 16 AND they are prohibited on school grounds UNLESS "permission has been granted by the educational facility for use on their property yada yada yada....."
I have found nothing that says anything regarding possession by an adult as long as its propellant in "spring loaded or CO2".....
