Air guns have been around for a very long time. The oldest known airgun dates back to 1580 or so. They were not BB guns, though, since they did not use the BB caliber ammunition. BB originally was a size of shot pellets for shotguns.

The BB gun as such was invented in 1886 by Clarence Hamilton of Plymouth, Michigan. The invention was manufactured and marketed by Plymouth Iron Wind Mill Company, which eventually got out of the windmill business and became Daisy Airguns.
