I had a small arsenal back in high school...was into paintball and that kinda crap. Lots of fun for getting together with a bunch of guys and drunk shooting each other. Spring pistols are cool for this kind of stuff, but I also picked up a gas powered HK pistol cause...well..it looked cool. Spring rifles are crap, don't get one. Make sure if you get a spring pistol, shell out enough so you';re not saddled with some crappy POS that will break after a month or so. BTW, those battery powered AKs and MP5s are crap as well.
