My understanding is the model 938 was a toy rifle not a bb rifle, but I did find out it was made in 1988
Which model, what is the condition of the BB gun or is it a BB rifle..
Crosman air guns made most all of Montgomery Wards Hawthorn brand BB guns.
Austria invented the first air rifle in the 1500's. The BB rifle was invented in the USA.

This would be a BIG mistake if you used BB'S in the Phantom. The Phantom is a pellet rifle not a BB rifle. The barrel of the rifle is a "Rifled barrel" meaning it has grooves that make the pellet spin as it's fired out of the rifle. BB's are hard and will destroy the rifling in the barrel. Making it not as accurate. BB guns and BB rifles usually are smooth bore like a straw and BB's have not effect on the barrel. BB guns are a lot less accurate that Pellet guns. Pellets spin when shot, BB's tumble when fired, this is why they are less accurate.
No
BB rifles and BB guns are neither accurate or powerful. Basically because of the design of the barrel. Most BB guns use a smooth bore barrel. Where as pellet rifles use a rifled bore barrel. It has grooves that make the pellet spin and fly straighter. BB's tumble when fired out of the barrel. BB guns can injure you but never attain the accuracy, power or speed of a pellet rifle. The best BB rifle I know of (NOT Pellet only rifle) is the Daisy 880. It is capable of firing both BB and single shot Pellets.
I would suggest an AirSoft BB gun. Not a Paintball or steel BB gun. Unless you have someone who is familiar with firearms then I would get him a Daisy Buck BB rifle and an adult to teach him the respect and rules of handling the rifle. The "Daisy Buck" is designed as a starter BB rifle for youngsters.
It all depends on who made the rifle and what condition it's in..
I know of No Crosman BB GUN model V35C. However Crosman made a V350 BB Rifle from 1962 to 69. If this is the rifle you are asking about please post the condition of the rifle. ( excellent, good, fair or poor.) It was a push barrel rifle. Is it in working condition? Repost with the information.
BB gun
