Description
This is a description of airgun pellets, which are projectiles designed to be fired from an air gun. Airguns operate at much lower pressures than firearms, and pellets are designed to be stable and fit snugly into the barrel of an airgun.
Model:Pointed, Calibre: 4.5MM, Qty: 500 Pcs, a pellet is a non-spherical projectile designed to be fired from an air gun. Air gun pellets differ from bullets and shot used in firearms because of the pressures encountered: airguns operate at pressures as low as 50 atmospheres while firearms operate at thousands of atmospheres. Airguns generally use a slightly undersized projectile that is designed to obdurate upon shooting so as to seal the bore, and engage the rifling firearms have sufficient pressure to force a slightly oversized bullet to fit the bore in order to form a tight seal. Since pellets may be shot through a smoothbore barrel, they are often designed to be inherently stable, much like the Foster slugs used in smoothbore shotguns.
