A Daisy pump gun, which might have gone to a nephew. Last I knew it was still sitting in Dad's closet.
I got it for Christmas and Dad set me up a nice cardboard box backstop in the garage. For my part, I put the first three shots right through the bullseye---and through the backstop and through the garage door.
When I realized what happened, I stuffed the backstop with more paper and put it up against the wood fence outside.

I think I remember when you could get full auto BB guns powered by Freon, back when you could buy Freon. Saw them advertised in comic books. That was a long time ago and my memory may be muddled, though. Never saw one, though.
10-4. They were a hoot. They did have a problem: when you opened up, the evaporating Freon cooled the can and you quickly lost pressure, so you'd have to stop for a while to let the can heat back up.

Some folks here heard this one 6 times, but in 2015, I inherited the below 1930's Red Ryder BB gun that my uncle gave to my father before he left for Europe in 1941. My father used and wrapped it in newspaper when he got ready to go to Korea (he never shipped because Stalin died) where I found it as a nosy kid in the early 1960's and took it on numerous rodent safaris. It was kept on my Grandfather's farm until he passed away in 1983, my father had it until his passing in 2015. It still shoots about 10 feet.
