SPA General Pellets 5.5mm 250 Pieces

A pellet is a non-spherical object 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 object that is designed to obturate 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.
