Need help with air guns

So I always wanted an air gun when I was a little kid but my parents always refused-maybe that has something to do with my obsession with real guns now.
Anyways, I have a 9 year old little brother, and I wanted to get him an air gun, but I know there is no way I will be able to convince my parents unless I can show them that it is real safe and all of that.
So I was wondering if there are air guns that pretty much can be used for target practice, but wouldn't do any damage if they hit someone, or what would the least powerful airgun do to someone if they got hit by it, I know some of the more powerful ones could leave a nasty mark, and I kind of want to see if there is something that would be fairly safe if someone got hit by it by accident so I can convince my parents.
Any help you guys can give would be appreciated!

That being said, start out with a BB gun or other Wal-mart air rifle. Make sure you have a safe place to shoot. Make sure your brother can safely handle the weapon and is trustworthy before you give it to him.

The problem is convincing my parents to let him use it, and because of that I am wondering what low-power air gun/rifle to look into, this is only to calm my parents down, and I think once they see that he is able to use it safely he will be able to get a higher-powered one.
They have a pretty tall (I think cement) wall in the back of the backyard so I was thinking he could put up target in front of it, and as long as he stood far back enough and didnt have a high power it would be fine against the wall.
I just love the way my M44's muzzle blast moves leaves 15 meters away.
Thanks Raider!
