RE: Pellet gun maker, What pellet gun do you shoot?
I think the advantage a pellet has over a BB is:
1) Weight. More delivered energy. Lead pellet is heavier than a steel (alloy) BB.
2) Accuracy. Riflined barreled guns can grab the pellet over a large contact area, whereas a BB if fired thru rifling will tend to "tear" and "roll" out of the barrel.
I think.
