They run on the same concepts, having a compressed gas propel them. But bb guns are generally more powerfull, slower shooting, "classic" looking rifles and pistols. Paintball guns are either military simulation or built specifically for the needs of paintball players, that look nothing like real guns or bb guns.

What tipe of bb gun can you have for 9 year old?

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.
