open source airgun pellet

thingiverse

this air rifle pellet has plenty of faces that can be modified in a multitude of ways. modify it until you find the perfect shape for aerodynamics and stopping power. have fun using this to make the next best airgun pellet and dont forget to share your findings! what you see is my take of a hollow point with a tip for better penetration. should this be printed in PLA and cast in lead, this would be good for small game, or large game if you happen to own a .50 cal air rifle. friendly note, if you are using a spring action or nitro piston air rifle, it's best to cast these prints in lead or another metal as shooting plastic pellets from these types of airguns can do the same damage as dry firing. PLEASE ENJOY THE SPORT RESPONSIBLY. on your slicer you will have to scale the X and Y scale differently depending on the caliber of your rifle or pistol. here are some imperial to metric conversions of common calibers. .177=4.5mm .20=5mm .22=5.5mm .25=6.35mm .308=7.62mm .357=9.07mm .380=9.65mm .40=10mm .44=10.9mm .45=11.43mm .50=12.7mm 20 gauge=15.6mm 12 gauge=18.5mm i am not responsible for any accidents as a result of using the included files and information about this thing. again, enjoy the sport responsibly.
