Here in America many of us heavily armed gun nuts were first introduced to firearms with "BB" guns- they are air powered pump or spring guns that fire a small round steel ball- .17 cal. or 3.5mm You can buy these "BBs"s at K-Mart, or other stores selling the guns in bags of 100. They are great to put in small bottles of model paint or wax, to use as agitators! If you have access to small ball bearings of about that size, they work as well!
