Is the gun to heavy for a 6 year old?

I don't believe weight will be an issue. The question will be can your 6 year old pump the water out effectively. It does require some strength to do so but I think a 6 year old would be fine.

My 12 year old grandson handled it quite well. It takes some strength and good technique to break the barrel (cock & load). It would be fine for target practice, but carrying it hunting will probably get tiring.

A 25lb. pull should be fine for a kid over 9 or so. Perhaps he is trying to pull it back too far (his index finger should be at the side of his mouth). Also, maybe he is over-doing the shooting session. 36 shots per session is plenty.

I have a very tall 5 year old and she has to bend down to use it. It probably is too small but if your 6 yr old is short it might work.

My 6 year old and I each have one. They are great. You can turn off the airsoft function and keep the pellets in a safe place to be used under supervision. They are fine in the house, but they are much more fun outside. It's not a bob gun that can pierce skin. Just use common sense and be a parent and your kid will love you for this toy.

My chld is younger and really enjoys it. She's not strong enough to use it for very long at one time. Neighborhood kids in that age group like to stop by when they see my child shooting it, and ask if they can have a few turns shooting it. They all seem to enjoy it. I'd say go for it!

Its not bad, I gave it to my 7 yr old daughter however my 5 yr old can shoot it. It has some power to it as well, my wife sent an arrow through our metal shed...

Yes! My husband says it's not too bad as long as you aren't weak. I can do it, but my 7YO son could not. Really glad I also got a cheap Crossman pistol for him so he can actually shoot. UPDATE: It is much easier to grip the front of the slide as the manufacturer or someone suggested in the product description. I didn't see that earlier. For some reason the slide doesn't always complete it's movement when I cock the pistol, but it never gives my husband trouble. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or just weak.

Yes, it works well for our son who is smaller than yours. My husband also has shot it and he is about 6'. It isn't overly powerful for a beginner.

Yes my grandson turned six in October and he absolutely loves it and has a four year old sister Love the nerf toys nobody gets hurts and the kids just love it!

We bought it for our 9 year old who is very petite. It is a little large for her so it might be big for your six year old.

Yes it weight more or less like a hunting rifle, so it's would be heavy for a kid to carry around. Shooting it from a table or a fixed position would still work if you still want to get one.

I think a 6 year old would enjoy it. The minimum age is probably because older children hopefully demonstrate good judgement when using the toy. My girls don't always shoot at each other. Instead they set up a target and try to outshoot each other! It is a good toy to get them outside to play and use their imagination.

With the CP 3x9x32 scope and weaver pictanny mounts and lens covers that came with it and a Charlie Da Tuna trigger in it, it weighs 8# on my bathroom scale. I jumped on the scale with the rifle, then without the rifle and subtracted the measurements. You can look up the weight of the rifle on the Crosman website to see what they say it is. I'm just giving you what weighs out for me on my bathroom scale. Depends on how largely built your 12 year old granddaughter is, it may be a little on the heavy side for her to do offhand shooting with. It is nicely balanced though. I have the wooden stock. Rifle is still shooting like a champ for me. Nice and accurate with Crosman domed pellets in the brown box and not the tin. Hopes this helps.

NO it is not a real gun, But it shots BBs with compessed air (c02), so you need to handle it as one. IF HE NEEDS A TOY AT 16, DO NOT BUY HIM THIS, IT WILL ONLY GET HIM IN TROUBLE

I think a 6-year old could probably fire it, but might have trouble pumping it back. It isn't a super heavy pull, but it's stronger than most pumps.

It is fairly heavy. But, if he has grown up using a BB gun, he will knowhow to "balance it" on a porch railing or some other item until he is 12.
