What shotgun and rifle should a beginner buy?  Where should I buy them?

Get a shotgun first.  There so many more things you can hunt with them.  I would suggest a middle of the road 12 ga semi.  The mp-153 is a good inexpensive gun.  Was made in Russia by Baikal, now it's owned by Remington.

I would tell you where to find one, but chances are, if you have a shotgun from some unknown place, the rails are not strong enough to support a grenade launcher. It is also not suggested that you buy a 150 dollar grenade launcher for a cheap shotgun. These things can be pretty pricey. But anyways, just to fill you in, here is a site:\n\nhttp://www.airsoftshop.com/index.php?cPath=4_44\n\nand \n\nhttp://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=74_173

You can practice your rifle skills indoors with an air rifle. The sight picture, breath and trigger control are the same as with your hunting rifles..I'm not talking about a daisy BB gun or a cheap piece of junk pellet gun, I'm talking about an adult precision air rifle...I use a West German built, Feinwerkbau 124D, the accuracy of this rifle is quite good...A .177 pellet is pretty small and I'm not all that great a shot but on good days at 10 meters I can place 10 shots in one ragged hole. Even at 40 meters 1/2 inch groups are not uncommon...\n\nYou can buy a nice air rifle for around $150 or you can spend several thousand for one with Olympic type accuracy...You might check out the RWS 34 they are well made,accurate and powerful all for around $230...If you do buy an air rifle, either buy a "combo" package or make absolutely sure you buy an air rifle scope. Spring piston air rifles are very hard on scopes and a scope not designed for air rifles will soon be ruined...\n\nRWS Superpoint pellets are my favorite...You may want to try several different "quality" pellets to see which functions best in your rifle...Pellets are relatively cheap and a pellet trap to practice indoors will cost less than $20...\n\nthis is the best site for information on adult precision air guns\nhttp://www.beeman.com\n\nthe best places to buy online\nhttp://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com\nhttp://www.pyramidair.com

The RWS model 34 would be a great choice...RWS makes high quality precision air guns...For $230 you will have, not only a great practice rifle but one that your son will use for a lifetime and then hand down to his son...\n\nMy personal favorite is the Feinwerkbau(FWB) 124D but, they are long out of production and the owners of these are very proud of them...It is possible to still find one one every now and again on http://www.gunbroker.com or http://www.gunsamerica.com if money is no object this is one heck of a rifle...Maybe the finest rifle of any type ever, almost Olympic match grade accuracy in a sporting air rifle, and it's built to last several life times, the maintenance calls for one drop of oil after the first six million rounds...\n\na couple of places to check air rifle prices\nhttp://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com\nhttp://www.pyramidair.com\n\nfor information on air guns\nhttp://www.beeman.com\n\nLook into the Ruger 10/22 when you feel he's ready...

you really don't want to buy used weapons unless you know the former owner (some owners are harder on weapons thus cutting down the weapons life span).  you first need to decide whether you want electric or dry (depends on whether you want to compete and whether your local clubs have electric fencing available).  \nmy suggestion is to get a starter set from one of these places...\nphysical chess\nblue gauntlet \ntriplette\nabsolute\nyou should be able to find them if you put their name in a search engine.

well you could get a mini they shoot around 150. of course there are all pos's and will break immediately. for just screwing around in you're basement I'd recommend a tangfolio witness it cost about $18 and I've heard it's really good but i have no personal experience with it. if you want to go with a rifle/shotgun i recommend the UTG m87 theres full stocked, pistol grip, and one with a m4 stock. i would say go with spring powered unless you want to spend a lot of money cuzz any electric/gas gun you get for cheap is just gonna break. i know you just want to fuck around with something but don't throw away you're money. i started out with a mini from a flea market and i regret it it broke and is a pos. if you want to know any more about airsoft you can contact me at baconbits93@yahoo.com also a great website that i have learned a lot from is air softforum.com    http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/index.php well feel free to contact me and don't forget airsoft is a serious sport.

should be several.  Start with the yellow pages  and look for gun shops  and shooting ranges.

First get some firearms training.  DO NOT use bullets for shotguns would be dangerous.  Shotguns use shell\n\nWall Mart has some affordable shotgun shells

Actually it depends on the state you live in.  In Georgia, you only have to be 18 to purchase rifles and shotguns...handguns are restricted to age 21 and older.

.308, 7.62x39 are ok rifle cartridges for defense, 12 gauge buckshot is a lot safer/more deadly in a home environment though.  10mm/40 S&W/45 ACP are all fine pistol cartridges, 9mmx19 is a little underwhelming in my opinion.  As far as cheap goes, go for a SKS (7.62x39) and a 12 gauge remington 870 shotgun.  You can get both of these for about $425 total.  A good handgun is gonna cost you quite a bit more, don't buy the cheap stuff like kel-tec, you will be dissapointed.  Buy a brand name like S&W, Kimber, Para Ord., ect.

I suggest a nicer spyder.  Something on the lines of an Electra or an Imagine.  The electra is a great lightweight gun that is perfect for aggressive front players.  with the right hopper it should be able to shoot at least 20 balls per second depending on your shooting skill.  It has the rocking trigger which is really helpful.  If you are really skilled you can get it to shoot 27, 28 balls per second.  I reccomend this gun highly since i have used it.  You can get it for like 250 dollars.  Great Gun

If you're new to paintball, stay away from the Ion and go with a Tippmann. Tippmanns are durable and very low maintenance. Plus they make tons of upgrades for them.\n\nIons are not a good choice for a beginning player.

The desert eagle is a powerful but slow shooting gun. You can get two good heavy-weight pistols for about $50 or you can usually find a rifle such as an M16 or M4 for about $50. Try goign to www.affordableairsoft.com they have a lot of package deals that are good and in the price range you are looking for.

the best beginner guns on the market are the tippmann 98 custom the custom pro, and the A-5 you can literally bang them against a brick wall and they will still work lie they came out of the box. a big bonus is that you can customize these guns to fit your style of play as you get more experienced. you can put on sniper barrels, drop in just about anything that will make you shoot faster, you can put on nitrogen without having to replace any parts, and so much more plus tippmann just came out with a new anti chop system for these guns so that means if a paintball gets stuck you can still shoot without having to clean your barrel. another thing is that you can field strip it and fix the gun if it malfunctions during a game. tippmann has made great strides in producing reliable, dependable, and cheap markers. i would recommend them to anyone even to people who have been playing longer than i have

http://www.gunsamerica.com\nhttp://www.gunbroker.com\n\nThe first one is a guns for sale site and the second is an auction site. Both are highly recommended.

i used to be an sporting goods manager at kmart and i would suggest the daisy red rider as a starter. very easy to use and is not to powerful. always have adult supervision to teach responsibility of the firearm. later on i would suggest a benjamin pellet rifle. benjamin is quality.
