Can a .177 Caliber Pellet Gun shoot a BB without damaging it?
Yes, I had one when I was a kid, it shot both 177 cal pellets and bb's...good shooting to you. just dont go cryin when you muck up your rifle: 7/21/09 The 177 can shoot BB if it is designed to do so. Some models shoot BB and pellets. However if it is not designed to shoot BB's then forcing the gun to do so will damage the rifling in the barrel. BB's are solid and do not deform in the barrel when shot. Pellets flair our when shot through the barrel and the skirt of the pellet uses the rifling to make it spin as it leaves the barrel. BB's wear away this rifling and ruin the accuracy of the rifle. Never shoot BB's in a gun that is not designed for it.

Will the crosman 1760 SE shoot BB's?
This is a very fine rifle. To force it to shoot BB will only damage the barrel and would reduce the accuracy and value of the rifle. BB's are meant to be shot out of a smooth bore barrel. The 1760 SE has a rifled bore barrel. When a pellet is loaded into the rifle the soft skirt of the pellet conformed to the groves in the barrel. This action causes the pellet to spin as it travels down the barrel and fly very straight as it spins through the air. BB do no conform to the groves in the barrel so when a BB travels down the barrel under air pressure it tears and ruins the groves in the barrel damaging it beyond repair forever. Never shoot BB's in a pellet gun designed to shoot pellets only.

Can a pellet gun shoot bb?
Some pellet guns are designed to shoot BB and pellets like the Gamo P23 and there are several rifles that also shoot both. (I'll talk about them later) But if the instructions call for Pellets and not BB's then it is NOT wise to force the gun to shoot BB's. Here's why. Pellet guns that are designed to shoot Pellets have grooved barrels called Rifling. The soft Pellet, when fired, catches the grooves in the barrel and this makes the pellet spin as it leaved the barrel. This makes it fly straighter and further. BB guns have a smooth barrel (Not Rifled) and the BB slides out the barrel and tumbles as it flies. This makes it inaccurate on any target beyond 15 to 20 feet. The BB is hard and when forced to fire through a Pellet barrel it actually destroys the rifling in the pellet barrel and over time the barrel becomes smoother inside.. The Gamo P23 shoots both BB's and Pellets through the Rifles barrel. But if you read the instructions on the Gaom P23, it state to use ONLY Gamo BB. Because they are made out of soft material NOT Brass or Steel. These BB conform to the grooves in the barrel and act like pellets. BB/Pellet rifles usually have smooth bore barrels and this is why they can shoot either projectile. But they are also not as accurate as a rifled bore barrel So if you want to keep your pellet gun or rifle in good working order Don't force it to shoot the wrong projectile.
