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.
