"The Rogers Daisy Airgun Museum approached the City of Rogers about putting Rogers, Arkansas on the map by commissioning the creation of the World's Largest Daisy BB Gun," the Visit Rogers, Arkansas says.

"Fast forward to January 2021 and the BB gun is now "propped" (fully secured to the building) up on the east side of the museum.The BB gun was fabricated by Elemoose of Springfield, Missouri who specializes in larger-than-life sculptures for theme parks, retail, and more. Fun Fact: If you were to make BBs that were to scale of the gun, they would be about the size of a ping pong ball!

"The airguns are chronologically presented to visitors, defining periods in Daisy history as you travel through the museum. You do not have to be a Daisy collector or airgun enthusiast to appreciate the museum. Visitors loved to reminisce and find the Daisy they owned as a child and to see how the Daisy BB Gun has evolved through the years. There's even a section of the museum dedicated to the movie A Christmas Story that includes the famous leg lamp!"

"The Daisy Airgun Museum, located in downtown Rogers, Arkansas, is a non-profit corporation which preserves and promotes vintage products and artifacts of the historic Daisy company while serving as a national tourism destination for Daisy fans and collectors," the official website says.

"The success of the Museum is dependant on admissions, product sales, donations and memberships. We invite you to join the “Friends of the Daisy Museum” to help us maintain this wonderful facility for future generations.

"Come take your picture with the World's Largest Daisy BB Gun in Historic Downtown Rogers. Here are some fun facts about the giant sculpture:
•   It was installed January 20, 2021.
•   It measures 25’ tall.
•   Approximate scale: 8.33:1
•   Sculpture has an aluminum frame.
•   Parts are made of sculpted Styrofoam; coated with epoxy urethane
•   Stock is filled with 180 lbs. of BBs in 20 lb. bags to ensure the sculpture is bottom-heavy.
•   180 lbs. of BBs = approximately 196, 363 BBs.
•   Of course it doesn’t shoot. However, if it did, the ammo would be 1.47” in diameter, 1/10th of an inch smaller than a ping pong ball."

"The sculpture was fabricated by Elemoose of Springfield, MO, a company which specializes in unique larger-than-life sculptures, primarily commissioned by theme parks," the Arkansas.com says.

"Its structure was engineered by John Miller of J & M Engineering of Springfield, Missouri. Securing such an attraction to a historic building required the special know-how of Robert Whitley of Whitley Construction Solutions, LLC with special equipment provided by Sunbelt Rentals.

"Rogers took its place among the ranks of these world’s largest items on Jan. 19, 2021 with the installation of a 25-foot-tall Daisy BB Gun on the sidewalk outside of the Daisy Airgun Museum."

"The Daisy Airgun Museum in historic downtown Rogers (Benton County) attracts visitors from all over the world, due in part to the popularity of the Daisy BB gun that was once a staple of childhood in America. People visit in order to experience Daisy’s history and to buy unique collectibles and souvenirs," the Encyclopedia of Arkansas says.

"Today, the museum houses an expanded collection of airguns and displays of antique furnishings, posters, postcards, photos, letters, advertisements, catalogs, promotional materials, and World War II items.

"The mission of the non-profit museum is to preserve and protect the collection of airguns and artifacts related to the history of Daisy and to make it available to the public. In addition, the museum serves a growing community of collectors of Daisy guns and memorabilia."

"Established in 2000, the museum’s chronological displays are bound to trigger nostalgic feelings in anyone who once owned a Daisy gun. The World War II exhibit is particularly extensive and recounts the company’s contributions to the War Department after targeting its manufacturing on defeating the Axis powers," the Atlas Obscura says.

"Other displays chronicle technological advancements including the introduction of pneumatics and the development of paintball guns, originally used in the forestry and cattle industries.

"Impressive as the Apollo story is, the museum has recently raised the caliber of its displays even more with the installation of the world’s largest Daisy BB gun. Standing at 25 feet tall, it is anchored by nearly 200,000 BBs that reside in the stock. Although the gun does not actually fire, if it did, it would require BBs approximately the size of ping-pong balls."

"25 feet long, stands muzzle-up outside the Daisy Airgun Museum. Weighted inside its stock with almost 200,000 BBs. Erected in Jan. 2021," the Roadside America says.

"There is parking on street next to the World's Largest BB Gun. The museum covers the history of Daisy Airguns. Well worth your time. Find the NASA display and see how Daisy made it to the moon."

"Daisy Outdoor Products (known primarily as Daisy) is an American airgun manufacturer known particularly for their lines of BB guns. It was formed in 1882 initially as the Plymouth Iron Windmill Company in Plymouth, Michigan, to manufacture steel windmills, and from 1888 started bundling BB-caliber air guns with each windmill purchase as a sales promotion.

"With the unrivaled popularity of their 1888-model Daisy BB Guns, the company changed the name to Daisy Manufacturing Company in 1895 and switched their business to solely producing air guns for sale. Throughout the 20th century, Daisy has been known as a company that makes and sells BB guns and pellet youth rifles. Their Red Ryder BB Gun is perhaps the best known and longest production item, which has been featured in many TV shows and movies since its introduction in the spring of 1940.

"Daisy is best known for their inexpensive youth BB guns, modeled after lever-action rifles. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Red Ryder model, which is still in production today, despite the fact that the Red Ryder comic strip was canceled in 1963. These simple smoothbore, spring-air BB guns fire at low velocities, and are marketed to children ages 10 and over. In addition to the spring air BB guns, Daisy also markets a line of multi-pump pneumatic rifles capable of firing pellets or BBs to the same age group." (Wikipedia)

"Walking through the museum, you’ll notice vintage décor outfitting the entire front window, one of my favorite features of the museum," the Only In Arkansas says.

"Displays begin with airguns (also from other companies/manufacturers) that came out of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, progressing up through the early years of Daisy’s success and on into the 20th century. (Just a side note: we studied Lewis and Clark in history this year, so it was exciting to learn that they had indeed traveled with an air rifle.)

"At the end of the tour, you’ll walk into the Gift Shop and Factory Outlet Store, where you can purchase guns, safety equipment, targets, BBs, collectible Daisy and Red Ryder memorabilia, postcards and more. You can fill your own tin from a barrel of Daisy BBs. The staff is extremely helpful, and you bet they know their stuff. Any question we asked about a particular gun, they knew the answer."

"Lots of things to see here, enjoyed learning the history of Daisy airgun Guns a childhood favorite. Large airgun gun outside the museum is pretty cool."

"I am very glad we decided to swing into this cute little museum! It had some really fun information, props, and artifacts. We even bought ourselves a Daisy! Worth the trip!"

"What a delightful museum. We spent two hours viewing the exhibits and were amazed about the history of this corporation. We loved the stories about the employees that made this company!"

"Daisy Air Gun Museum is a place to learn about the history of Daisy guns. You learn a lot about BB guns. They have an audio tour you can listen through a device you hold up to your ear."

"A Must if you're in the area. Very cheap admission and you can get through it in an hour. They just put up a 25-foot air gun rifle outside the museum which would be good for photo ops. The staff is friendly here and it's very educational regarding the company and air rifles. I say stop in if in the area."
