.22 bullet rifles are used in the Olympics
--------------------correct answer:-----------------
.177 caliber air rifles are used in the Olympics. These are high quality match air rifles.
It is generally accepted the the pellet rifles used in the Olympics are the finest made. Look up rifles made by FEINWERKBAU WESTINGER & ALTENBURGER
The US uses various guns in the Olympics, depending on the shooting event. Some commonly used guns include pistols such as the Smith & Wesson M&P, SIG Sauer P320, and the Walther P99, as well as rifles like the AR-15 platform rifles and the Anschutz rifles.
The Olympic air pistol and air rifle events use a .177 caliber pellet. The biathlon (skiing and shooting) uses a .22 caliber rim fire rifle.
The british used rifles with bayonets. Only important officers had pistols during that time.

Rifles, bayonets, machine guns, knives and pistols.
A pellet rifle has no firing pin. It also can not fire a bullet or gunpowder. It can not be made to do so either. The pellet has no charge (casing like a bullet) it just a pellet. However pellet rifles can be just as deadly as a real firearm. They use Air or C02 to project the pellet downrange. Some Pellet rifles are used for hunting, others for target practice. The Major difference between a firearm and an air rifle, is Gunpowder is use in Firearms and Air or C02 is used in Air rifles.
Yes, they used the first pistols= revolvers and the first rifles= muskets
No... Corrected answer.-------------- It depends on the caliber and power of your Pellet gun. But Yes it is possible. In fact many pellet guns and rifles are used for rodent control.
It's not so much the website as it is the Class of Airgun/Rifles that are expensive. I am referring to the most powerful and expensive airguns around. These are known as PCP's (PreCharged Pneumatic) air rifles. This class of air rifles are used in the Olympics (Cost around $3.000) or for hunting medium to large game. Most pellet guns or rifles fire a .177, .20 or .22 caliber pellet. PCP's can fire up to 9mm, 45 cal, 357, or 50 cal. These are extremely big boar air rifles. see the links below for the air gun sites
pistols were used by all military forces. pistols were usually issued to officers. however, machine gun crews were also given pistols as rifles were to cumberson when lugging a machine gun. some other military enlisted elements were also issued pistols due to their job........................
There are too many types: airguns that are used in the auto industry, Air Rifles, Air pistols, Air soft guns.
