I bought one of these and it was .177. They make both the .22 and .177 either caliber will satisfy. Hope that helps.

Accurately? I'd say a 200 feet at most. This is a very accurate pellet pistol, but it's not very powerful, so if you need something to shoot longer distances, this might not be the best gun.

It will still have the loud crack noise when you fire this pellet. I know it did when i fired the .177 cal pellets in my old air rifle rated at 1000fps. I imagine with the 22 cal. at 850fps it will do the same.

any .22 pellet that I have tried from Pyrimidair which sells pellets in the USA , have fired. Pyrimidair also explains somewhere on their site that .22 cal pellets are different size from .22 cartirdes in rifles, the difference is in the 3rd and 4th decimal place. ie .2214 or something like that. I am confident that any of the .22 pellet ammo found on amazon will fire with this gun. PS the gun comes coated in oil which you will have to clean off then apply the pellet gun oil that is silicon based.

The .177 version has a higher fps pellet speed , but the .22 version has a higher pellet weight. when you combine the pellet speed and its weight you get what is called ft./lbs The .22 version actually has a higher ft./lb rating over the .177 version. ft./lbs is the force of the pellet when it hits the target. Therefore I would say the .22 version is more powerful.

this is a spring type air rifle. and with some minor adjustments this can actually be pretty powerful 22 caliber spring air rifle. I replaced my spring and the seal and I shoot typically over 7740 psi with 22 caliber 14.4 grain pellets.

probably not the bone collector is a great gun for the price, but louder than the whisper shot a squirril a few days ago with mine and the pellet went through the ribs and came out the other side suggest you try for the heavier, slower pellets if you shoot at short to medium distance slower speed less noise generaly, more speed, more noise one of the reasons I prefer 22 over 177

It's a .22 pellet rifle. Accurate with scope already zero'd in. About 70% quieter than conventional pellet rifle tha do not have the noise dampened at the muzzle. Hope this proves useful.

Depends. The .177 is faster and more effective at shorter ranges. The .22 is a heavier pellet and a bit slower but at longer ranges has more killing power.So for gophers, ground squrrels the .177. For hunting rabbit, tree squrrels etc, the .22 has an edge. The .177 is a lot less expensive to shoot than the .22.Hope this helps.

Certain states (i.e. Illinois) will allow the sale of a pellet gun ONLY IF the .22 pellet travels at 700 fps or slower. There is no restriction for the .177 caliber pellet (in Illinois).

The pellet pistol is a S2-1 made by Industry Brand at the Shanghai Air Gun Factory. It will fire american pellets. 5.5mm. is the same as .22 caliber. Also if you ever get a pellet gun in 4.5mm. it's the same as .177 caliber. Wal-Mart has pellets but not many in .22 cal. Bass Pro Shop has plenty. All lead flat nose wadcutters or competition pellets are the most consistent and accurate. Crosman or Gamo are good. I shoot a lot of RWS but they're expensive. This gun is not real accurate but at 10 meters after adjusting the rear sight and using a little Kentucky windage you can hit a 12"x12" paper target more times than not. That's good for $25 .

Won't be that accurate or powerful, pellets are light and inconsistent and may wonder at that distance. 50 yds is my max. Get a 22 rim fire for 100yds.

In a .22 pellet (even a standard weight .22 pellet) the additional weight (as compared to a .177 pellet) reduces the velocity to something sub-sonic and there is no sonic crack from the pellet itself. The noise from firing the rifle is all you hear - if it is a quiet rifle, it will fire quietly. The pellet speed will depend on the power of the rifle, this heaver pellet would allow greater energy from the rifle before the pellet would be fired as super-sonic speeds causing the louder sounds.In a .22 rifle, this heavier pellet would be better for countering the effects of wind on accuracy than for reducing noise from the pellet speed for most rifles.

Not apples to oranges... Its the kind of small game you want to hunt or the target your after (any other hunters correct me...) Technically, the .22 shoots SLOWER than the .177 I believe, but, has more stopping power. Then again, you might penetrate better with the .177. I like the .22 for the durability and overall enjoyment, though some people like shooting a smaller round. And remember.....THIS IS A SIMPLE 10 PUMP PELLET GUN! Your not buying a desert eagle, you buying a decent inexpensive pellet pistol. Its plenty of power though (the .22 or the .177) for anything you want to accomplish with it. (Target, small varmints, chasing away mid size game from stealing chickens in your coup.) Not apples to oranges...

No. It is only .177 Caliber. I have asked Crosman to make a .22 version. But some States consider a .22 Air Rifle to be the same as a firearm. So I am not holding my breath.

this is a pellet gun. you have to use cupped lead pellets like this Crosman Destroyer Pellets, .177 caliber, 4.5mm, 250ct
