A pellet for an air gun or the like is provided having a head portion made of metal or metal containing plastics material and a shank extending rearwardly of the head portion, and a skirt portion secured to the head portion by the shank, said skirt portion having at least two sections which are larger in diameter than the head portion and being made of substantially elastic plastics material, for slidably engaging a gun barrel bore surface. The head portion provides weight for the skirt portion during flight. Preferably the skirt portion is made from plastics material with a low coefficient of friction and sufficient elasticity to regain its shape after deformation, such as P.T.F.E.

A pellet for an air, gas or spring gun having a barrel bore through which said pellet travels when the gun is activated, said pellet comprising: a head portion adapted to provide weight for the pellet for stability during flight and penetration when striking a target; and a skirt portion made of a different overall composition from said head portion, said skirt portion adapted to be securely attached to said head portion, said skirt portion being made of a substantially elastic plastic material which is essentially free of any metal filler and being proportioned with at least two portions which are larger in diameter than said head portion at its largest diameter, such that said pellet slidably engages the gun barrel bore essentially only by said large-diameter portions of said skirt portion which are deformed slightly during slidable travel of the pellet through said barrel bore, yet said skirt portion returns substantially to its original configuration once expelled from the gun barrel.
