I thought this would make a good mystery photograph. Can you guess what they are ?

Great. I'll play if I may, how big are these things?

BB gun pellets.

Tako Kichi · 06-29-2014, 12:43 PM

They are air rifle pellets (BB gun pellets tend to be round) but I'm not sure if they are .177 or .22 gauge. They also all appear to be flat headed where I am more familiar with the domed or pointed varieties.

I spent many happy hours in my youth playing with a .22 air rifle I had modified to take a spring-and-a-half so it had more power and hence higher velocity and greater accuracy on the pellet. I could quite easily take down rabbits and game birds with that air rifle.

They make a great abstract pattern.

Everyone was right. They are .177 airgun pellets
