There was a fairly large choice of junior sized guns for the younger shooter.....proper small sized rifles, like the smaller Dianas, Milbros, Webley Junior and Jaguar etc........I recently saw a Weihrauch 25 at a flea market which looked a true "lads" gun, but does anyone else still do these?......not in the market, just wondering what beginners of a younger age have to start with these days.....

Cometa do a couple of small starters.
Norica do some too.

The Weihrauch are better than both though. The HW30S is a real gem.

Hi........Yep!........shows IMHO, what a load of cobbles today's nanny brigade talk, If you look at the childhood that people like me (born in the 50's) had, and our early exposure to airguns and fireworks and all other sorts of "bad" things, I don't think we turned out so bad....Mind you, I had parents who really impressed on me the responsibility of what I was doing, and there was always the threat of the rolling pin...if we got caught!

I really feel sorry for the poor little blighters today, In all too many cases they never know the freedom and fun we took so for granted

I totally agree. Jenny Dipple

You're exactly right, Ed. I think it is a shame for children today.
