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.
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.
Companies that make airguns and rifle don't advertise the distance that their air guns shoot. Because it can vary with the weight of the pellet or BB. They rate how fast the air gun is capable of shooting in Feet Per second. (FPS) it can be safe to say that the air gun can project a pellet or BB at least 150 feet and further.

While many pellet guns are configured to be able to fire regular BB's, most BB guns cannot fire standard BB caliber pellets. To fire a pellet, the BB gun would have to be a breech loaded or break-barrel loaded design, and the pellets would have to be loaded single-shot.
