While some say it is the 950 JDJ.I would say that the .50BMG is the most useful and widely used caliber.They have found a home with the sniper rifles used for long range shooting and sniping found in the conflicts of Irag,and Afganistan.

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

What is a high-powered rifle?

Generally, a "high-powered rifle" is any modern rifle designed to fire a bullet at high velocity from a hollow cylindrical metal shell by means of igniting a primer and detonating a smokeless power charge contained within. Exactly where a "rifle" becomes a "high-powered rifle" has never been definitively established.Clearly rifles chambered for the .30/30, the .30/06, the .270 Winchester, and the .308-- which are designed for hunting medium to big game and/or military use--are high-powered rifles. Even smaller rounds such as the .243 Winchester, the .222 and the .22 hornet are generally so classified. Alternatively, .22 rimfires are generally not considered high-powered rifles, nor are rifles designed to fire handgun rounds such as the .357 magnum and the .44 magnum.
