Actually a BB gun is an air gun. But an air gun also includes pellet guns and rifles. BB guns are the bottom end of the air gun family. Pellet guns are more accurate than BB guns and they usually cost more.
A BB gun uses compressed air to push a round steel "BB" out of a smoothbore barrel. It does not have the power, range, or accuracy of a firearm.
A 22 caliber rifle is a firearm and a BB gun is an air gun (Not a firearm) Now if you are asking about a .22 caliber air gun then the difference is in the size of the projectile. A BB is a hard round .175 caliber ball. The .22 caliber is a larger size pellet.
Gravity Feed Guns: The design allows the BB to fall into the loading/firing chamber when the gun barrel is lowered. (One BB at a time) This is a simple design. When the Barrel is lowered gravity allows the BB to fall into place. C02 or an air chamber fires the BB when the trigger is pulled. Air Gun: The BB or Pellet is placed into the loading chamber either by hand or by a loading clip. Gravity doesn't play a role in loading the gun.. In both cases either Air or C02 fires the gun.
none.
A BB gun is a gun which shoots BB-size pellets, typically with the use of compressed air, or a compressed spring.
A BB gun is an Air Gun. Now if you are asking is a BB gun better than an "Air Soft" gun that is different. As for better, well it all depends on what you want it for. A BB gun will do more damage than an Air Soft gun. But that doesn't make it better. basically an air gun has hollow pellets to a bb gun a bb gun has metal balls so they are basically the same gun but with different types of bullets
It's better known as a BB Gun. A BB gun is similar to a real firearm except it uses compressed air instead of gun powder.
Because the air pump in a bb gun makes the bb feel like a pinch
You cock the BB gun without loading any BB's into it just air.
Air rifles use compressed air or C02 to propel the BB or pellet. They do not use gunpowder. Their is no bullet shell and bullet just the BB or pellet.
Both are powered by Air or CO2. But a bb gun fires a bb. (.177 caliber) BB guns and Rifles traditionally have smooth bore barrels. Air Rifles (I assume you are asking about Pellet firing air rifles) fire .177 pellets usually through a "rifled bore barrel" giving the pellet more spin and causing it to travel straighter. Pellet Air Rifles come in .177 cal, but also come in 20, 22, 25, 45 and 50 Caliber pellets. They tend to be more powerful than the bb rifles. Crosman, Daisy Beeman and RWS are just a few of the air gun makers who make bb guns and Pellet Air Rifles.
A BB gun has a very hard projectile and will cause more damage to a person than an air soft pellet.
