4.5mm/ .177

The 4.5mm pellet gun caliber, also known as the .177 caliber, is one of the most popular and widely used sizes in the world of airguns. This small but effective caliber is favored for target shooting, plinking, and pest control due to its high accuracy and flat trajectory. The lightweight pellets, typically made of lead or alloy, can be shot at higher velocities compared to larger calibers, making the 4.5mm a favorite choice for competitions, especially in air rifle events where precision is key.

In addition to its accuracy, the 4.5mm caliber is known for being cost-effective and widely available. Pellets in this caliber are relatively inexpensive, allowing shooters to practice more frequently without worrying about high ammunition costs. The availability of different pellet designs in the 4.5mm range—such as pointed, domed, and hollow point—also offers versatility for different shooting needs, from target shooting to small game hunting. Its lower recoil makes it more accessible for younger or beginner shooters looking to improve their skills without the intimidation of stronger airguns.

While the 4.5mm pellet gun caliber may not carry the same stopping power as larger calibers like the 5.5mm (.22) or 6.35mm (.25), it is still highly effective for dispatching small pests and rodents at closer ranges. Its precision and ability to reach high speeds make it a practical choice for those seeking accuracy over brute force. Whether for sport or small pest control, the 4.5mm caliber offers a balanced blend of performance and affordability, appealing to a broad spectrum of airgun enthusiasts.
