How do you tell if it is a bb pistol or pellet pistol?

It usually says right on the barrel. Single shot / single load pistols are pellet pistols. Most BB guns have a reservoir for the BB's. There are a few that shoot either a BB or a pellet. You will have to look at the instructions or the display box to see what it says. Pellet pistols are more accurate than BB pistols. Most BB pistols will say .177 BB. Pellet pistols will say .177 Cal and not say BB.


Could you use Copperhead BBS in the Crosman Phantom?

This would be a BIG mistake if you used BB'S in the Phantom. The Phantom is a pellet rifle not a BB rifle. The barrel of the rifle is a "Rifled barrel" meaning it has grooves that make the pellet spin as it's fired out of the rifle. BB's are hard and will destroy the rifling in the barrel. Making it not as accurate. BB guns and BB rifles usually are smooth bore like a straw and BB's have not effect on the barrel. BB guns are a lot less accurate that Pellet guns. Pellets spin when shot, BB's tumble when fired, this is why they are less accurate.

Is a air rifle or BB gun a fire gun?

Air rifles use compressed air or C02 to propel the BB or pellet. They do not use gunpowder. Their is no bullet shell and bullet just the BB or pellet.


What s the strongest bb gun?

There are BB guns and there are Pellet guns. BB guns are not as powerful as pellet guns. BB gun can only fire a .175 caliber BB at a maximum of around 500 FPS. Pellet guns can fire a .177 pellet over 1200 FPS. The most powerful class of Pellet guns and Rifles are PCP's (PreCharged Pneumatic) air guns. These require a special pump or Scuba tank to charge them to 3000 PSI and can fire up to a 50 Caliber slug. Capable of bringing down a full size deer. Pellet guns are much more accurate and powerful than BB guns. If you want a powerful BB gun then I suggest a multy pump BB rifle.


Can bbs be used in a pellet rifle?

Pellets are actually a little larger. if it worked, would have no velocity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BB's are .175 caliber, Pellets are ,177 Caliber. BB's are hard and do not deform where as Pellets are made of soft material. BB guns have a smooth bore barrel. It's just a tube. Pellet rifles use a rifled bore barrel. They have grooves in the barrel that the pellet catches as it travels down the barrel. This spinning makes the pellet spin as it leaves the muzzle and this spinning causes it to fly straighter than a round BB. Forcing a BB to fire through a pellet rifled barrel damages the rifling as the hard BB travels down the barrel. Never use a BB in a pellet gun or rifle. Now there are rifles that are designed to shoot both BB's and pellets. These rifles have smooth bore barrels and are not as accurate as pellet rifles that have rifled barrels. I only know if one pellet gun that is designed to shoot BB's in a rifled barrel, and that is a GAMO P-23. This pistol shoots both BB's and pellets BUT the BB's must be GAMO brand BB's designed for the P-23. These BB's are soft and conform to the rifling as they are shot. They do not damage the rifling.


Which is faster BB gun or air soft gun?

In most cases it will be a BB gun. But Pellet guns exceed both the BB and the airsoft guns. Pellet guns can attain speeds over 1200 FPS.


Is the daisy 880 power line a powerful bb gun?

750 fps./BB; 665 fps./pellet The name Power-line may be a little misleading. Modern Pellet rifles are capable of firing a pellet at 1000+ fps. But this is a combination BB and Pellet gun and as far as BB rifles goes 750 fps is a good speed for a BB. This is about as fast as they can possibly go. I own 2 of these and find them very entertaining to shoot for fun.


Most powerful and accurate bb rifle?

BB rifles and BB guns are neither accurate or powerful. Basically because of the design of the barrel. Most BB guns use a smooth bore barrel. Where as pellet rifles use a rifled bore barrel. It has grooves that make the pellet spin and fly straighter. BB's tumble when fired out of the barrel. BB guns can injure you but never attain the accuracy, power or speed of a pellet rifle. The best BB rifle I know of (NOT Pellet only rifle) is the Daisy 880. It is capable of firing both BB and single shot Pellets.
