General Airgun Question bb guns
Hi
I want to buy a bb gun online, but do you think my neighbours who live in above and below apartments will be able to hear the gunshots?
is amazon a reliable source to buy bb guns?
can a 10 euro gun be fairly good?
something like this?

Uh a €10 bb gun? Well today, that'd be USD equivalent of $11.5952 + sales tax.
And honestly, that could only [barely] purchase something like a Marksman 1010
Cheap, spring power air pistol, very low velocity, approx 150 to 200 fps ANYWAY.
Now, with that CONTEXT in mind...
I say "Go right ahead pal. Be mindful of your backstop. Do not shoot after 9pm."
What many readers here may not yet know is that material composition of walls
in europe are much robust than in north america, thereby WAY better insulated.
Here, it's standard wooden frame, pink insulation foam inner and gypsum sheet
drywall on each respective side. You palm tap it lightly, hear a hallow THUD ring.
European walls. You do the same & you'll hear a tight dense SMACK .. like brick.
If you ever traveled there, then you would know EXACTLY what I'm talking bout.
THAT'S what I mean.

Hey,
I wouldn’t recommend buying anything for 10 euros, get 50-100 bucks and than you could buy a good entry level airgun. If cost matters buy a break barrel so you dont have to spend on co2 patrons….
Sound: yes, they will hear it. If you have a co2 gun with a proper moderator the gun will be quiet but the impact of the pellets will be loud (if you use a metal pellet catcher…
I’d say youre better off with a ~30 euro AIRSOFT gun, its silent and you wont damage furniture, you can plink at home at close range.

thanks
what brand and model of handgun would you recommend?
if i don’t find a gun in my local store, can amazon be ok?
i think i’ll stick with an airsoft rather than a co2 gun, as i read the latter can be lethal…

Amazon can be ok, look for some entry level brand which is somewhat reliable. I can’t help with it tho, as im not into airsoft
