Best Answer

A pellet has two definitions:

1: The droppings from an Owl or other bird.

2: The lead projectile shot from an Air Gun or Air Rifle. Usually the same diameter as a BB but longer. It can also be the 6MM plastic BB shot from Air Soft Guns
It is a small rounded mass like a piece of food or kibble. It is also a type of fuel used in pellet stoves. It is also a projectile made of metal that is fired from a compressed air gun.
