Nope, the barrel is way harder than the soft lead of the pellets. Blast away. :mrgreen:

Hi Rohanjohnp,

> The pellets have to fit snugly into the breach, that way it gets the perfect push from the release of the compressed air from the power plant, without any leaks.
> If the pellet is loose fitting then power is lost, hence the velocity and the resultant energy.
> Go ahead - Happy shooting / plinking.
Cheers
