This all depends on the country where you live. Some countries consider them firearms. In the USA they are not considered firearms but you must be 18 to purchase one. Other countries may not consider them firearms but they are heavily regulated.

Are pellet guns safe?

Pellet guns are safe so long as safety rules are followed, same as firearms. # Always consider the gun loaded. # Do not point the gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. # Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target. Pellet guns are intended for target shooting and small game hunting. They are not intended to be fired at people. A pellet will cause severe damage to an unprotected eye and will break skin. Some higher-powered pellet guns have enough power to embed the pellet in muscle.


Are BBs or Pellets more accurate?

In general, BB guns are smoothbore, and the barrel is larger than the steel BB. Pellets guns are rifled, and fire a lead pellet that is a squeeze fit to the bore. This is MUCH more accurate than a BB. GOOD pellet guns are more accurate than firearms, within their usable range.
