If you wanna just plink around the house or shoot targets outside, you can get a decent springer airsoft gun for $20-$30. A spring airsoft gun means you have to "cock" the gun everytime you want to fire it. I got a KWC Glock 17 just for messing around. Anyway, a springer is the weakest king you can get, but a decent one can shoot through cardboard boxes... like the kind your tv came in. I recommend the KWC Glock 17 if you wanna just mess around.
If you want to spend more but without going totally crazy spending hundreds on an AEG, you can opt for a gas powered handgun. They run anywhere from $50-$200 for a handgun and they shoot a lot harder then a springer; hard enough to go through a soda can. Theres a bunch of options for these, so I recommend you just scour various airsoft forums to figure out which gas gun is right for you.
My favorite gas gun though is the fully automatic KSC Glock 18c. Wish I had money to blow on something like that. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
