Can anyone recommend electric AIRSOFT rifle

[Big Dawg]

Hello,

When I was young my friends & I would have BB gun battles. We never wore goggles and everyone walked away unharmed. We were young & stupid.

My 13 year old wants a airsoft rifle. I figure that paying a little more for full metal rifle would be better than buying a cheap one more than once. Yes, he will have to wear goggles & show me a working knowledge of proper firearm safety before using the rifle.

Do any of you or your kids have Airsoft gunss? He is a small kid so I was not looking for full length version of M-14 or M-16 but smaller versions would be nice. There are so many companies.

Ed, they have sniper versions because I know you have bad knees.
