SINCE I already posted this here, i will try to ask you guys one more question if you don't mind.
Do i HAVE to use CO2 with a BB gun? cause everywhere i see it i seem to read how it uses CO2.
Is it possible to use a BB gun that supports CO2 without it, just get less accurate results ?
or there are CO2 BB gun and spring BB guns.

Airsoft shoots 6mm plastic BB's weighing between .20 gr up to .30 gr and up at around 1.0 to 1.4 Joules (sometimes a bit higher in some places).
BB guns shoot .177 cal or 4.5mm lead or copper pellets at 495 FPS (higher if you have a PAL) and are more deadly. They can also be used for pest control (as I believe how they are used on some farms/country areas)
Anyways, you can get pump action BB guns, usually they're the target rifles like the Daisy Avanti line. These cannot be used at airsoft games however for target practise they're the greatest (only next to the Anschutz .177 cal pellet guns).
As for AV, check out the FAQ's and look for the list of Age Verifiers for your area, it has to be done in person since it's easy to fake credentials online. It also may take a bit since the AV reps are all volunteers and once they're submitted your info the admins on the forum must activate the permissions on your account.
EDIT: I highly suggest at least $175 for a pellet gun, the cheaper ones are way way to crappy and you'll be left wanting more; while the more expensive ones are more for "olympic target shooting" ("ISSF") and don't (IMO) offer too much more for a recreational shooter. Also, if you're getting a PAL you can also check out the air rifles that shoot over 500 FPS too, Air Force, Crosman, Winchester and Gamo I believe are pretty good names out there.
