Do pellet guns shot metal bullets or plastic?
Pellet guns shoot lead pellets. The advantage of a lead pellet is that it is heavy, and can be shaped into an aerodynamic cone shape that cuts through the air. They are also more responsive to the rifling inside the barrel and spin as they fly. Pellet guns are actually quite different (and much more accurate) than bb guns. You can actually kill small animals with a pellet gun so if you are looking for something that's more of a toy you might want to get an airsoft gun. Those shoot plastic bb's and are non-lethal.
Are BBs or Pellets more accurate?
In general, BB guns are smoothbore, and the barrel is larger than the steel BB. Pellets guns are rifled, and fire a lead pellet that is a squeeze fit to the bore. This is MUCH more accurate than a BB. GOOD pellet guns are more accurate than firearms, within their usable range. I have one pellet rifle that will put pellet after pellet into the same hole in the target at 10 meters.
Do all guns have bullet shells?
The proper name is a cartridge. No, not all guns use catridges. Muskets used loose gunpowder and lead balls. Pellet guns use air or compressed gas to drive a pellet. Spear guns use spear and big rubber bands to drive the spears (divers).
Can you get lead poison from a pellet from a pellet gun?

Does an air rifle shoot plastic pellets?
An AIRSOFT Rifle shoots plastic BBs. An Air rifleshoots steel BBs or lead pellets. Airsoft guns and rifles have an Orange or Red tip on the barrel. BB guns and pellet guns / rifles do not have a red or orange tip on the barrel.
Why do you have to wet the lead pellet before dropping it into the graduated cylinder when determining the volume?
When using a lead pellet to determine the volume of a liquid, the pellet is wet before being dropped into the cylinder so that it will sink faster. If the pellet was not wet it would take a fraction of a second to start to sink in the liquid.
Is an air-soft gun the same as a pellet gun?
No. First off, airsoft guns are chambered in a larger calibre, they're around .25" ( 6mm ). Modern BB guns are all .177 caliber. Pellet guns can be .177", .22" or .25", but bb's only come in .177 ( unless it's a real oldie which might be in .22 ) Second, airsofts all only shoot plastic balls or paint capsules. .177 BB's are copper plated steel the and the .22's are lead, and most BB guns will shoot the hourglass shaped lead pellets as well as BB's. Finally, airsoft rounds are propelled by a 'hammer" coming up and slamming into the round which drives it out the end of the barrel, BB's are always (so far as I know) propelled by a burst of air.
What is the composition of pellets used in b-b guns made of?
BB are made of Steel, Copper and Gamo makes some BB's out of Lead. Pellets are made of lead, some have a plastic tip and others use various compounds that are non-lead based, but lead is the most common material used. Because it is soft and when fired through a riffled barrel, the skirt at the rear of the pellet flairs out and conforms to the groves in the rifling, giving the pellet more force as the air pushes it out of the barrel.
Will a lead pellet dissolve in my body?
See a doctor. Lead will make you sick and can damage the body.
