Is this appropriate for my 7 year old

Absolutely, with adult supervision. I was shooting a bolt action .22 caliber rifle with a scope at that age... With adult supervision. By 12 years old, I was shooting a 12 Gauge shotgun without supervision. Train and trust your kids. They will become better adults.

can it kill small animals

YES! I got a fat rat killed with a single shot from a 20 or 24 feet distance. This was the reason I bought and it did not disappointed me. I am sure it will kill other animals like birds, rabbits and squirrels. Check your local laws. I hope you don't intend to kill any small animals with this. (except pest like rats). Contrary to the other 2 comments. I bought this slingshot and never had a chance to try it until I got the opportunity to hit that rat and only took me 2 shots to hit it (first shot missed by inches, second shot hit the target). I must mention that I have no "skills" and those 2 shots were the first 2 shoots I took since I was 11 years old! so, 25 years have passed since I used one until that time. I don't know what is the other reviewer talking about when he says you need some degree of skills and have own at least 4 of these and practice over the years and change bands etc, etc. As you can see, this is a simple tool that anyone can use. No skill required. Just need to be careful as this small tool is dangerous if you hit a person by accident.

Would this work with paintballs? If so is there a specific type/size you'd recommend?

I use it to launch small tennis balls for my small Dog. I am fairly certain it would work for paintballs, but if you have a choice in size get the smallest paintballs possible.

what kind of ammo should I use with this slingshot? I see there're 3/8 and 1/4 on amazon.

3/8 is obviously a larger shot and has always work best for me....but weather you use 3/8 or 1/4 they will both will work just fine
