Description
The text describes the use of pellets in an air gun, and how they differ from bullets and shot used in firearms. Air guns use pellets that are designed to seal the bore and engage the rifling, much like bullets used in firearms. Pellets are also designed to be inherently stable, much like shot used in shotguns.

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 obturate upon shooting so as to seal the bore, and engage the riflingfirearms 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
