Manufactures never state how far their guns shoot, they just say several hundred yards. The reason they say this is several factors are in play like the power source and pellet weight. Air guns power sources can be pump, Co2, Spring or PerCharged Pneumatic. (More about PCP's later) pellets also come in different weights and shapes. A light pellet can travel very fast and far but is not as accurate as a heavy pellet that flys slower and straighter and has more impact.

PCP are the most powerful air guns around. They are capable of firing a pellet twice as far as a regular airgun. These guns/rifles require a special pump or Scuba tank to charge them to 2000 to 3000 PSI. They also can fire a 50 caliber pellet. When they fire a .177 pellet they can be deadly up to 1/2 mile or further.

Can you shoot bb's in a 177 cal pellet gun?

No,because bb's are a standard .22 caliber;witch means a .177 caliber rifle would have to have a .177 caliber bb.I don't believe any company would make the bb any smaller,do to supply and demand reasons of cost to produce one.~Jason Actually Jason, the diameter of BB's, is .175,, this is to allow the projectile to fit "loosely" enough in the barrel so as to not jam. Most .177 cal air rifles WILL NOT shoot BB's. ^^Frank
