In theory, the accuracy thing might seem to be no big deal for indoor distances, but it depends on what the shooter wants or expects. The Daisy from my childhood won't hold a four inch group at 30 feet. To me, that's absolutely no fun for shooting paper targets. Plinking at cans, maybe.
My general idea is that if I want to test or hone my skills shooting at targets, my firearm should be capable of consistent X-ring accuracy. The 10-ring on those NRA AR-4/5 and AR-4/10 short-range BB-gun targets are pretty small. Can something like the Daisy Red Ryder put all its shots in one hole at 15 feet? I'm not positive, but I'm thinking no. The 499 probably can. A $46 Beeman P17 pistol can do it ...
