Will the pellets penetrate thick cardboard? I don't want the pellets to ricochet all over shooting at targets that have a cardboard box as a backing.

Definitely will go through cardboard. Fill the box with folded newspaper or magazines then test to make sure it does not pass completely through. This is a powerful BB gun not an air soft.

Yes it will but if you are planning to shoot at cardboard I would advise to put alot of it because this gun is really strong in fps and always wear glasses for safety if it does ricochet

I don't know how thick the cardboard you are referencing. I have found this is a powerful rifle that can easily penetrate two thicknesses of a high grade cardboard shipping container that held the a shotgun I purchased. Two thicknesses of high grade cardboard should slow the bb's to a point that they won't ricochet or pose a safety issue. Yes they can penetrate but are greatly slowed down and will either lodge in the material or go through and fall to the ground. Hope this helps. Best advise, use 4 pieces of cardboard and check the results.

The steel force shoots 4.5mm steel bb's not pellets. A thick cardboard box would make a good backstop for your targets. Always wear your safety glasses.

they will penetrate cardboard within 25 feet. as the gas starts to run out it may be a little less aggressive. They generally shoot at around 470FPS at the muzzle, a little higher than advertised.

I tiink they will go through thick cardboard. BBs will embed themselves in wood.
1706158
This gun has some power. I have had bb's go through double layers of cardboard.

The Steel Force BBs will easily penetrate a 1/8th inch steel soup can at 20-30 feet. It is a powerful BB rifle.

I dont hunt squirrels, but think this Destroyer pellet would be just fine in that case. It is designed to mushroom upon impact rather than going completely through your target. My only kill so far was a crow, and it took off right after I fired, making me think I missed. Wrong, found crow dead on the far side of a fence 100 ft away.

As far as trapping he pellet, yes. I have gone online and inquired about this product and I found a interesting information about lead particles and dust. One article in particular (don't remember the http) wrote about lead splash back through the paper target and I found this in paper targets when I shot .22 subsonic at a distance of 60 ft. in effect lead dust. DO NOT SHOOT INDOORS unless you have at least this distance and excellent ventilation !

If you're a good shot, they go through the bull's eye. ;-) After that, they end up inside the trap itself. NOTE: you said "bullets", this trap is ONLY suited for bbs and lower velocity .177 pellets. I shoot a Weirauch HW50S in .177 caliber. With the pellets I use, it runs on average ~700fps with about ~10fpe and I tore this trap up (pellets pounded their way through the metal in the center of the back of the trap from .25" groups) in less than 100 shots. It's really only suitable for bb guns and lower powered pellets. Great design, weak materials.

They are made from soft lead so they will deform on impact. That being said, they are also pointed to enhance penetration and out of my Ruger Blackhawk (1000 fps) rifle they are supersonic so they may go through plywood. If you want something that flattens on impact use a pellet with a flat head. Hope that helps.

The pellets I use are crossmans premier hollow point. I can put all inside a quater size circle at 20 yards many in same hole.

this is no good for arrows at all, they will go thru the cardboard and keep going, until they hit something else or run out of velocity, this is for firearms, airguns, etc., with a good backstop area, like a tall, thick earthberm.

Yes it does. I've shot bb's and pellets from as close as 10ft. Be careful with bb's thought because if your aim is too low it can ricochet. I add shredded newspapers that.

I have only used it for pellet guns and I get a lot of fragmented pellet ricochets when using it, I cover the entire face of the stop with a thick target to slow the effect

I would not recommend shooting it with pellets. A low power bb gun might work but the target is really intended for airsoft bb's.

Yes If you shoot at something solid such as metal or flat rock but not as bad as bad as an all metal pellet, however if the metal is thin enough it will stick in the metal and according to the FBS penetrate the surface.

I have had my gun to the range a few times and have shot Crossman, Daises and Gamo pellets. The Gamo master point and Magnum have shot the best . Nice pointed pellet your best bet is to target shoot some with different ammo and see what works best for you . I am going to squirrel hunt with mine this year ,(live in Ohio and it legal here) so I am using a pointed pellet . Hope this helps . Shoot safe and have fun .

Ill tell ya what Wanda, the best thing to do is sit down and punch some holes in paper. cant tell you 100%, but they would definitely be worth a try. I am sold on em, best pellet ive shot. Hope this helped

Yes, altho a few will hit the bakstop at just the right angle to ricochette back thru the target. Wear eye peotection.

I use a rim/pack of white paper and at a distance of 15 ft the least. It penetrate 3/4 and sometimes 1/2 of the bolt length. and never went through the paper. And for safety I put a 1/4 inch plywood in the back 4x4 size depending on how you trust yourself in shooting a target.

Hello...I would probably say they would not spin the targets all the way around. I've been using a benjamin pump air rifle with pellets and you have to hit it in the right spot for the target to go all the way around. Also have to be pretty close to the target. This target, I think, is mainly for .22 or .17HMR rounds. Happy shooting.

Yes, you may have to use a heavier grain pellet like an 8 or 10 grain. I was driving 10.5 grain pellets though 5/8" plywood at 10 meters. That is plenty strong enough to penetrate the carcasses of most common varmints. Just try to be accurate - head or heart - for a quick and clean kill.
