Ok... I often glance at different forums on this board. I see some folks talking about air guns. So tell me why would someone shoot these air guns? Can they be shot in your backyard in a suburban environment? Are they that quiet compared to the 22 rimfires? Can they kill a squirrel at 50 yards? Crow at 50 yards? Seem this would be a fun project and my boy can shoot this but hey he has his CZ scout so this would be moving backwards for him!

As someone said I cannot imagine paying more than $150 for an air rifle. Do they last long if they are pumps/springs? Anyone know where I can learn/look at the internal difference between a pump and springer?
