About the Company

QYS was established in 1994. They developed their own technology and pellet making processes to produce some of the most accurate pellets ever manufactured. They have featured in every Olympic Games since Sydney 2000. To date, QYS airgun pellets have amassed a staggering total of 10 Golds, 4 Silver and 5 Bronze medals! Additionally, Official ISSF data indicates they have accrued scores of medals in World Cup events for both air rifles and air pistols.

Design

The .177 / 4.5mm QYS POINTED Airgun Pellets are designed around the time-proved ‘waisted’ or diabolo shape. They are smooth-sided to reduce friction while travelling both up the gun’s bore, and through the air on their way to the target. Combined with the state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, this is what makes them such an accurate pellet.

This pellet’s head is pointed. This can give the pellet extra penetration on impact when it arrives at the target.

As with any pointed head, the consistency of shape is vital to achieve stability in flight. Good ballistic stability results in better downrange accuracy. Cheaper pointed .177 pellets are more likely to miss their target than QYS POINTED Airgun Pellets.

Uses

The pointed design of this QYS pellet, combined with its ‘calibre-ideal’ weight, is best suited for hunting and general pest control. The smaller caliber (.177 / 4.5mm) will result not just in a flatter trajectory, but also in higher velocities. Together with the pointed head design, this pellet will therefore penetrate soft tissue and result in a humane despatch of the pest.

Suitability

The .177 QYS POINTED Airgun Pellets are suitable for use in PCP (precharged pneumatic) airguns, spring-powered, pump-up and CO2-powered air rifles and pistols. They are suitable for use at all power levels, including FAC-rated air rifles capable of a muzzle energy in excess of 12ft/lbs.
