The guns are the same, the pellets are the difference. .22 are larger and slower and fly straighter and have more knock down power. Personally I prefer .22 pellet guns and rifles. I'm not all hung up on speed. I prefer accuracy and hitting power.

Would you be able to use a pellet grain that's 11.57 on a gun that takes about 7or8 grains?

I assume you are asking about air guns, if so then it would be helpful if you stated the model. Most air guns can accept all weights of pellet grains as long as the pellet is the correct caliber. In other words you can not use a .22 pellet in a .177 caliber pellet gun but you can use different weight pellets as long as they are .177 for that gun.

Oh, dude, it's like asking if pineapple belongs on pizza - it's all subjective! A .177 caliber pellet gun is great for accuracy and speed, while a .22 caliber has more stopping power. So, it just depends on what you're shooting at - cans or grizzly bears.


Is there such a thing as higher than 177 Cal on a BB gun?

Lets get something straight. There are BB guns / Rifles and there are Pellet guns / Rifles and there are a few BB & pellet rifle combinations. Most BB guns are .177 Caliber, there are a very few that are .22 caliber. Pellet gun & Rifles come in .177, .20, .22, .25, 9 mm, 40 Caliber, and 50 Caliber. The last 3 calibers are usually high powered air rifles in the PCP class of rifles (PreCharged Pneumatic) they require a special pump or SCUBA tank to charge them. So Yes there are calibers much larger than .177
