Is it okay for a 12 year old to have an airsoft rifle? If so, how do I convince my parents and purchase it?

If you have to convince them then you are not resposible enough to have one. You should be able to ask and they should say "okay."

If you order online (recommended) use one of these sites...

well have ur parents take u to walmart its ok for a 12yr old to have one of coure even a 5yr old could have one because 12 is the hunting age so tell ur parents i really want an air softso i can battle with my friends they dont hurt tell them or dont tell them about battling

prove ur parents that u r a resposible guy e.g. Keep ur home clean for a month & u 'll easily get it

Go for it. As long as you don't shoot anyone point blank, take out the orange tip, or shoot at anyone's face, go ahead, if your parents allow it.

Wal-mart guns aren't that dangerous anyway. :)

first off...let them look at you and the first thing that should come to their mind..should be...responsible, this way when u ask for the gun, it doesn't seem that hazardous to them to let you buy one...convince them that its safe, and show them what it looks like...and how it works..all the basics...let them know that its alright for you to use..and ur all set..and if they still say no...then u have to regrettably accept..but hey its always worth the tru :D

well I'm the same age and i tried the same thing as u ... it didn't work but it might work on Ur parents......

first if u gunna have air soft gun wars(shoot other people) say ur gunna wear glasses... and then tell them if u do get hit it rarely hurts.(really it barely hurts).and if that doest work. just lie
