At 5-6 years old I had a BB gun (Daisy Buck) and would accompany my father and older brother on hunting trips. Generally bird hunting. If a bird fell injured (particularly in the sugar cane), it was my job to go 'hunt' it down and dispatch it. I understood, even at that age, that gun had the potential to do harm, and I saw it first hand as I put finishing shots on birds. I certainly would have known the difference from a gun that was not 'real'. The added bonus besides learning respect of guns at an early age, I STILL have that BB gun and it still functions as it did back then. Like me, it looks a touch worse for the wear though. No, they don't make 'em like that anymore.
