Description
The text describes hollow point pellets, which are designed to be fired from an air gun. Air guns operate at much lower pressures than firearms, which means that airguns can use a slightly undersized projectile that is designed to obdurate upon shooting. This makes the pellets inherently stable, much like Foster slugs used in smoothbore shotguns.
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.
