which ones stronger pellet guns or BB guns?

Answer 1

Pellet guns for sure.

Answer 2

Pellet

Answer 3

Most air rifles shoot both the BB's velocity is about the same but being truly round and made of copper it has a tendecy to bounce off ,The pellet made of soft lead and pointed tip will pierce flesh and does mushroom out on impact

Answer 4

pellet

Answer 6

Reservoir guns represent the oldest pneumatic technology; they have existed since the 15th century. They presented some compelling advantages over the primitive firearms of the day. These airguns could be fired in wet weather (unlike flintlocks), and with greater rapidity than the muzzle-loading guns of the period. Moreover, they were quieter, had no muzzle flash, and did not produce telltale clouds of smoke.

Contrary to popular myth, historical military airguns were not silent; they made a very audible sound, though much quieter than a firearm of similar caliber. One might safely assume that the sound of an airgun would have been inaudible against the noise of a pitched battle.

For general usage, though, airguns were no real challenge to the dominant position of powder weapons. They were expensive, delicate and not very powerful. The air reservoirs could burst explosively. The valves were not very tight and slowly leaked pressure. Historical accounts mention that the common soldiers were often unable to handle the complex guns, which was logical in an age where the average peasant recruit had never encountered a machine more complex than a horse-drawn cart. People who had any experience with mechanical devices (millers or clockmakers) were few and far between. The guns of the period were famously crude, and required very little skill from the average infantryman (skilled snipers or hunters were something else entirely, see Jäger).

In this era, France, Austria and other nations had special detachments of snipers who carried air-rifles.

The Austrian 1780 model was named "Windbüchse" (literally "wind rifle") in German. The guns were developed by the gunsmith Bartholomeo Girandoni (1744-1799), and are occasionally called "Girandoni air guns" in literature (the name is occasionally spelled "Girandony"). The Windbüchse was about 4 ft (1.2 m) long and weighed 10 pounds (4.5 kg), which was about the same size and mass as a conventional musket of the time. The reservoir was a removable, club-shaped butt; the gun was recharged by replacing the exhausted reservoir with a new one. The Windbüchse carried twenty lead balls of .52 inch caliber (13mm) in a tubular magazine. It could shoot one magazine in about thirty seconds, which was a fearsome rate of fire compared to the slow-loading muzzle loaders of the period. A shot from this gun could penetrate a one-inch wooden board at a 100 paces. The effect is roughly equal to that of a modern 9mm or .45 caliber pistol.

The celebrated expedition headed by Lewis and Clark reportedly carried a large-caliber reservoir gun.

During the 1890s, air rifles were used in Birmingham, England as a competitive target sport. Shooting matches often took place between enthusiasts; one public house would sometimes challenge another with prizes such as a leg of mutton for the winners which was paid for by the losers. The sport became so popular in the city that just after the turn of the century the National Air Rifle Association was set up in the city; during this time over 4000 air rifle clubs and associations existed across Britain, many of them in Birmingham.

Some of the largest pneumatic guns in history were mounted on the USS Vesuvius. This naval vessel was armed with three 15 inch (381 mm) reservoir-powered cannons that fired highly explosive projectiles. Unfortunately for the future of airguns, these dynamite guns suffered from poor range and, unlike conventional cannon, could not rotate relative to the rest of the ship.

As a result of recent discoveries, both physical and of written records, it is now believed that the air rifle that Lewis and Clark took on their expedition was produced by Bartholomeo Girandoni. It is said to be .42 caliber. It holds 22 round balls in a tubular magazine mounted on the side of the barrel. The butt stock serves as the air reservoir and had a working pressure of 800 PSI. The rifle was said to be capable of 22 aimed shots in one minute.

[edit] Legal issues

The legal definition of an airgun differs from country to country; in the United Kingdom, for example, air pistols generating more than 6 foot pounds (8.1 J) or air rifles generating more than 12 foot pounds (16.2 J) of energy are considered firearms, as are airguns in Canada with a muzzle velocity of over 500 ft/s (150 m/s). In Japan, any airgun that fires a metallic projectile is restricted as a firearm, so only airsoft type guns are readily available there. Many US cities and states restrict airgun sales and possession, usually independent of the power; these include: New York City, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Chicago and Morton Grove Illinois, San Francisco California, or Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Even airguns not considered firearms are subject to regulation in most areas; at the very least they will be considered dangerous or deadly weapons. There are minimum ages for possession, usually less than the age for firearms. Sales of both airguns and ammunition may be restricted as well. Some areas may require permits and background checks similar to those required for firearms possession. In the UK, Brocock Air Cartridge System air guns, which use a precharged, single shot air cartridge (similar in size to a .38 Special cartridge) were banned after a number of pistols recoverd by the police, were found to have been converted by criminals making them capable of firing rimfire ammunition or even .38 Special ammunition.
