At the low end pellet guns shoot about 250 FPS (Feet Per Second). At the high end they fire around 1450 FPS. Pellet guns most commonly are BB guns and .177 Caliber. But they also come in .20, .22, .25, 9MM, 45 and 50 Caliber. The last 3 are in the PCP (Pre Charged Pneumatic) class of air rifles and guns. These rifles require a Scuba tank to charge then to around 3,000 psi and are capable of taking down a caribou or deer.
