SPRING POWERED (SINGLE SHOT) BB GUNS COST GUIDE
£10 to £25
This price range is the cheapest type of bb gun rifles you can buy, and for this, you can expect to get a rifle that is good for target shooting at home. The build quality at the lower end will most probably be reduced, but the guns nearer the £20 to £25 pound mark will be noticeably better made especially the double eagle brand rifles. Power wise lots of the bb guns in this range are quite good because they are cocked by hand they have mostly got stiff springs in them, and that means more powerful shots. At this price, you can get a cheap pump action shotgun or an assault rifle. You can even get a cheap sniper rifle, but at this price, it will probably not be full size, and low quality and something aimed at kids use only.
£25 to £40
around this price, you can get a decent spring powered single shot pump action shotgun or assault rifle this will still be for home use etc., as normally the only spring gun you would take a skirmish would be a sniper rifle, and in this price range a sniper will not be good enough to be skirmish-able.
£40 to £75
for this, you can expect a good pump action shotgun that takes shells and fires three shots with just one pump, or a basic sniper rifle that is mostly plastic made like the cyma ZM51 that will come with a mock red dot scope and plastic bipod.
£75+
At this price, you can get a decent WELL brand sniper rifle (without bipod and scope) that will have a metal barrel, and if you wanted to add scopes or bipods in the future, you could buy proper metal bipods and telescopic scope to fit them. Obviously the more you spend from here, the better gun you will get, but even some of the cheapest well sniper rifles around this price they will mostly all be upgradable if you wanted to do so, as some are cloned from top of the range TOKYO MARUI sniper rifles. But some upgrade parts will be costing much more than the rifle its self.
