Yes, lead pellets can potentially be lethal, especially if they hit vital areas of the body or if a person suffers significant blood loss. While they are often used in air guns and for hunting small game, any projectile can be dangerous if misused or if it strikes a sensitive area. Additionally, lead exposure can lead to serious health issues over time, contributing to toxicity. Proper safety measures should always be followed when handling or using lead pellets.
