Description
The text describes hollow point pellets, which are projectiles designed to be fired from an air gun. These pellets differ from bullets and shot used in firearms because of the lower pressures encountered when using an air gun. Airguns operate at pressures as low as 50 atmospheres, while firearms operate at thousands of atmospheres. Hollow point pellets are designed to be inherently stable, much like Foster slugs used in smoothbore shotguns.
Model:Pointed, Caliber: 5.5MM, Qty: 250 Pcs, a pellet is a non-spherical projectile designed to be fired from an air gun. Air gun pellets differ from bullets and shot used in firearms because of the pressures encountered: airguns operate at pressures as low as 50 atmospheres while firearms operate at thousands of atmospheres. Airguns generally use a slightly undersized projectile that is designed to obdurate upon shooting so as to seal the bore, and engage the rifling firearms have sufficient pressure to force a slightly oversized bullet to fit the bore in order to form a tight seal. Since pellets may be shot through a smoothbore barrel, they are often designed to be inherently stable, much like the Foster slugs used in smoothbore shotguns.
