Mell Can BB guns be accurate?
Concerning accuracy, both BB guns and high-quality Airsoft guns can accurately hit targets from downrange. However, BB guns tend to be a bit more on the accurate side. One reason BB guns tend to be more accurate is the ammunition.
Why is my BB gun not accurate?
Stock-Related. Stock related problems are the most common cause of any inaccuracy with Air Rifles. Over time (or just poorly maintained) the screws that keep the stock in place can become loose. There are several in the stock (well, usually four) that keep the stock secured firmly to the Air Rifle action.
What is a good velocity for a BB gun?

Can a 400 FPS BB gun kill?
The higher the muzzle velocity, the more lethal it becomes. At around 300 fps, BB guns are barely lethal even with the ideal target area and pinpoint accuracy. At 400 fps, BB guns become pretty lethal when the target is the eyes and face. 400+ fps with a steel BB or lead pellet will penetrate 3-4 inches of flesh.
Who makes the most accurate BB gun?

It’s caused by bullets traveling just above or below the optimum speed for that barrel, causing it to vibrate inconsistently. Handloaders can cure it by raising or lowering the powder charge. Non-handloaders will have to try different ammunition.
Do pellets bounce?
Earlier, I said lead pellets do not bounce straight back – and they don’t. But they do deflect, which is a grazing sort of “bounce” called a ricochet. If the shooter is 10 feet away from a flat steel plate, someone 10 feet to either side of him might be hit by lead fragments splashing back.

Can a BB gun hurt a coyote?

How does accurizing improve the accuracy of a gun?
Accurizing is the process of improving the accuracy and precision of a gun (firearm or airgun). For firearms, accuracy is the ability to hit exactly what one is aiming at, and precision is the ability to hit the same place over and over again in a repeatable fashion.
