Re: Daisy BB Pistol #118 "Target Special"
Introduced in 1937, the Daisy "Targeteer" was an incredibly low-powered BB pistol. Â It shot miniature steel BBs (made specifically for this gun) at 100-150 feet per second and can't break a window at a distance greater than 10 feet.
They're common at flea markets and airgun shows and can usually be had for $60-100. Â If you'd like to use it and can't locate the original .118-caliber ammo (remember, this isn't standard BB size and using a standard-sized BB will jam it), it's said that #6 birdshot will work.
