OMG...
You don't quite get it.
If you buy that gun off craiglist, you will then shoot your friend.
If you won't know what an L96 shooting 500 fps does to someone close range, I will explain you.

In this picture, you can see an adult, with a BB stuck under his skin, because he was shot. The BB broke the skin and entered the hole.
Now, this is a grown man. Means that they are consentent to shoot each other. I can tell you that I have seen situations where two adults where about to fight because of a too close shot.
Now you are 14. Means that if you shoot your L96 at a friend and hurt him that way, his parent can and will probably go against yours.
The problem is that media will get a hold of the story. Then suddenly all airsoft guns are lethal and must be removed. Thank you, we just lost the right to play soldier because you where stupid.
But even more. What if your friend's parents decide to sue your parent (you are both underage, mean that you have nothing to say, your parents decide stuff). Under a year you could find yourself under childs protection and moved to an other family because you where stupid, and your parents would have a huge fine to pay. Hell you might end in juvi for assault with a weapon...
By the way, I had an L96 before. I let my friends shoot at a target. Eventually, one shot the other in the arm while he was changing targets. The BB entered the skin. We took pliers to remove the BB, and had to cut open the skin a bit more to be able to get it out. Then the guy when to hospital and now has a scar similar to a cigarette burn mark.
The target was at 55' from the gun... meaning that the range was maybe 50'.
