That would depend on the real life situation.

hunting for deer would definitely call for a rifle whereas defending your home from an intruder is probably a good time to have a pistol handy, I have never found it necessary to keep anything deadlier than a Baseball bat by the door.

99% of the people never run into a real life necessity for a gun, hunters and sportsmen own them much the same as a fisherman owns a rod and reel, and never thinks of them or has a need other that their intended use.

Owning or brandishing a firearm with the intent to use it on a human being is something that is all too often taken lightly, talk to someone who has actually had to use one in such a case and you will find a regret regardless of the situation in the ending of someones life.

Is a rifle the most powerfullest gun ever?

First, it is rifle, not riffle. Second, no, or we would shoot tanks with a rifle. Cannon are more powerful. Finally, depends on the rifle. I have a .22 rifle and a .44 magnum pistol. The pistol is far more powerful than the rifle. I also have a .22 pistol, and a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is far more powerful than the pistol (in THAT example).

Is it illegal to buy a rifle ant put a pistol-grip on it with out a pistol permit in the state of Florida?

I'm not sure how the system of purchasing a pistol in Florida works, but converting a rifle into something which the BATFE would class as a pistol without being able to legally own a pistol would be illegal, not just in Florida, but in the entire US. Now bear in mind that, to be classed as a pistol, it would have to have just the pistol grip, and no buttstock. If it's a combination of pistol grip and buttstock, it's still considered a rifle, and is still legal, so long as the rifle is still compliant with state laws. Some states (New York, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Cook County Illinois) still have so-called assault weapons bans in effect.

What should you carry with you while playing airsoft?

Well first off, if you have a pistol get a holster. A holster is around your belt at your side, and then a rifle at front. A sling with the rifle would be good because if you run out of ammo on your rifle, than put it on your back with your sling and take your pistol out.

I would say Vermont, but I'm not 100% sure. I know you don't need a permit to carry a concealed pistol, or to buy or own a pistol, rifle, or shotgun. Per federal law, you have to be 18 to buy a rifle, 21 to buy a pistol, and you have to pass a background check.
