I have a pellet lodged in my head from a pellet gun shooting, It has been lodged for 32 years now and no problems to speak of.
It will most likely pass right through you
He was poisoned with a polonium-210 pellet when he was stabbed with the point of an umbrella. He died shortly afterward from radiation poisoning.
The vacuum switch in a pellet stove is a safety feature. If the exhaust pipe or vent becomes clogged it creates positive pressure to the vacuum switch, the switch then activates and shuts down the pellet feed or the whole stove itself. This keeps your family safe from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
You have to swing the forearm to pump up an air cylinder in the rifle. Usually it take about 8 pumps. When you pull the trigger it releases the air an propels the BB or Pellet.

Yes. In fact it's not recommended to leave a charged C02 pellet in a BB gun. It will eventually rupture the seals. After shooting release the C02 gas. If you have a pistol that requires a pellet to be in the handle so the grip can stay attached, then leave a discharged C02 pellet in the handle to keep the grip in place.
A pump action BB gun requires you to pump the forearm (The grip under the barrel) several times to store air in the air tube. This air propels the pellet when the trigger is pulled.
I'm going to try to answer this in two parts. 1. Montgomery Wards Pellet rifles and guns were made by Crosman corp under the Hawthorne name. 2. This is pure speculation and a best guess. I believe the m140 is the "Crosman model 140" it is a pump, single shot, 22 cal pellet rifle. It had a wooden stock with the forearm as the pump handle. there were 3 variations made, starting in 1954 ending in 1968.

Most of the accuracy is in how the shooter holds the rifle / gun. Also use heavy pellets such as H&N match pellets. Pellets come in different weights, a lightweight pellet will fly faster but will drift off target easier. A heavy pellet will fly slower but will fly straighter and have more knock down power. An example is a H&N Barracuda match .177 pellet that weighs 10.85 grain compared to a H&N speed match .177 that weighs 7.65 grain. Also holding the gun the same way every time improves accuracy. When holding a rifle do not hold the front forearm tight. Let it float on the palm of your hand. Some shooters rest the forearm on the back of their hand. It's an art that takes time to develop.
The dome pellet is considered to be the universal pellet.
