Pellet pistols: Characteristics

Pellet pistols are compressed air and CO2 pistols that fire lead projectiles with calibers of 4.5mm and 5.5mm.

They are used in hunting, pest control, competitive sports (e.g., target shooting), and for recreational use (e.g., plinking).

You should choose a pellet pistol according to its intended purpose and objective, as the caliber, ammunition, and pellets selected will have an influence on its performance in various activities such as target shooting, hunting, etc., as we will see next.

Which caliber should you choose: 4.5mm or 5.5mm?

Pellet pistols with 4.5mm caliber ammunition stand out for their good accuracy and straight trajectory, losing less height over longer distances. However, being smaller and lighter, they are often affected by wind in open areas.

This caliber is allowed in most competitions and is also widely used in sports shooting training.

On the other hand, 5.5mm pellet pistols are heavier and typically used in windier locations. The disadvantage is that the accuracy decreases over longer shots, resulting in lower penetration.
