What is the difference between an air rifle and a BB gun?

Both are powered by Air or CO2. But a bb gun fires a bb. (.177 caliber) BB guns and Rifles traditionally have smooth bore barrels. Air Rifles (I assume you are asking about Pellet firing air rifles) fire .177 pellets usually through a "rifled bore barrel" giving the pellet more spin and causing it to travel straighter. Pellet Air Rifles come in .177 cal, but also come in 20, 22, 25, 45 and 50 Caliber pellets. They tend to be more powerful than the bb rifles. Crosman, Daisy Beeman and RWS are just a few of the air gun makers who make bb guns and Pellet Air Rifles.


Is there such a thing as higher than 177 Cal on a BB gun?

Lets get something straight. There are BB guns / Rifles and there are Pellet guns / Rifles and there are a few BB & pellet rifle combinations. Most BB guns are .177 Caliber, there are a very few that are .22 caliber. Pellet gun & Rifles come in .177, .20, .22, .25, 9 mm, 40 Caliber, and 50 Caliber. The last 3 calibers are usually high powered air rifles in the PCP class of rifles (PreCharged Pneumatic) they require a special pump or SCUBA tank to charge them. So Yes there are calibers much larger than .177


Compare 177 to 22 pellet gun?

The guns are the same, the pellets are the difference. .22 are larger and slower and fly straighter and have more knock down power. Personally I prefer .22 pellet guns and rifles. I'm not all hung up on speed. I prefer accuracy and hitting power.
