Nothing. Its not a question of shooting its a question of quality. Chinese rifles are crude compared to most other air rifles. An example is the loading system used on most Chinese rifles. Its known as the "bear trap" Several owners have lost the tip of there finger by accident when the loading catch slipped loose and the loading port slammed shut on the owners finger while they were loading the pellet. I own two Chinese air rifles in my collection and when I load them I make sure I hold the lever with one hand while I load the pellet. I also found the sights to be crude and it took me quite some time to zero them in. Crosman
Phantoms are made by a better standard and are uniform throughout. I also own a Phantom.
Because the Phantom is a .177 cal the range will be slightly further than the heaver .22 caliber pellet, but the .22 will have a harder impact than the .177. But this is true for any comparison between these two pellets.
The .22 cal B3 is rated at 450 FPS. Most other .22 cal Break Barrel rifles can attain well over 900 FPS per shot. This is due to the design and quality of the rifles.
The B3's are very popular because they are so inexpensive. I think mine cost me $29. The B-3 has quite a following. Owners like to modify the stock or make a new stock. However I don't know of any Chinese rifle that is considered to be a collectors item, But they are fun.

What is a stronger pellet gun the you can buy at Walmart that is stronger then the crosman phantom?
You do mean pellet rifle, not pellet gun. The Phantom is a rifle. First of all not all Wallmarts carry the same air rifles in every store let alone every state. But I can help you with this information. The Phantom is a .177 caliber rifle that is rated at 1000 Feet Per Second (FPS) I suggest looking for a rifle that has a higher FPS ie: 1200 FPS or a .22 caliber rifle that shoots close to 1000 FPS. A .22 at 800 FPS will be a bit slower but it is a bigger pellet and will have more knock-down power than a .177 pellet at 1000 FPS. Don't confuse Speed with Power. Think of it this way. If I shot a 1/4 piece of plywood with a .177 pellet, I would make a very nice dent in it. If I shot the same piece of wood with a .22 caliber Pellet at 900 fps I would most likely make a hole most of the way through it. Why Because the .22 is a much heaver pellet.
