Pellet guns are air guns that shoot small, round projectiles called pellets. They are often used for target shooting, small game hunting, and pest control. Unlike traditional firearms, pellet guns use compressed air or gas to propel the pellets, making them quieter and less powerful. This makes them a popular choice for beginners and those looking for a less intense shooting experience. These guns come in various types, including spring-powered, CO2-powered, and pneumatic models. Pellet guns can be made from materials like metal or plastic, and they often resemble real firearms in appearance. Safety is important when using pellet guns, so wearing safety goggles and following proper handling guidelines is essential.
