   The quintessential BB gun. The US Army used them for the 'Principle of   
   Quick Kill' method.  It's a form of instinct shooting that used the BB   
   guns without sights. The Daisy rifles have a muzzle velocity of about 275   
   ft/sec and the BBs themselves are usually flashed with copper and shiny.   
   The combination means on a sunny day you can see them in flight and adjust   
   the trajectory using the visual cues, sort of like bare bow archery.   
      
   Airsoft pellets are larger and are also visible. I had some that were glow   
   in the dark which was interesting.
