since these are pretty much single use last ditch weapons, the fact that they break apart (hopefully inside an assailant) is a positive thing. :)

a poster here used a Gamo pellet gun for self defense, it left one of his assailants in a moaning crumpled heap: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=123826&highlight=tooth+gamo

very good site with a collection and reviews of semi auto and revolver loookalikes: http://www.co2airguns.net/collection/index.htm the Tanfoglio is really ugly on the other side, lots of screw holes, and the ejection port has a silver sticker inside...

Daisy's model 93 (693 is the two tone chrome and black version) is a good fun reliable plinker, and is a replica of a Smith & Wesson 9mm. Umarex has a very interesting .177 M&P replica coming out soon, a 19 shot BB 480 fps semi auto with a drop free mag, in both all black and a dark earth...

Older people need weight bearing exercises to combat sarcopenia (age related muscle loss), a person starts to lose muscle at about a pound per year after age 30 or so. Simply put, if you're somewhat falling apart at age 50 or 60, you won't even be able to get out of a chair or bed without...
