that’s a 22cal pellet — it doesn’t _really_ matter, but I thought you might want to know.
Dustin Younsesays:
although to be a pedantry completist, it’s entirely possible that it’s actually a .177 pellet. without a scale reference in the photo, etc etc.
JamesWsays:
Well, in the interest of total completeness, it could be a .20 caliber, too…
Johnsays:
or .177 caliber.
Shawn Blaszaksays:
Well, in the interest of TOTAL completeness, the fact that we have no frame of reference means that he could have hand crafted the gun, bullet, and ornament. This means that it could, very well, be a 10.00 caliber round and a really, really, big ornament.
JamesBsays:
“pedantry completist” sounds so good, I had to go look it up. Nice words. And I thought the slug looked a little small to be a 22 cal to.
But besides that, the photo is really good. I made a photocell flash trigger for the Arduino, and played with an audio trigger as well, and it is tough to get good lighting, timing, and composition like this.

That’s a pellet, not a BB. Pellets are made from lead and designed to be fired from a rifled barrel. BB’s are steel and generally fired through a smoothbore. BB’s look exactly like ball bearings. Pellets look like… That.
