4.5 mm ammunition

In the 4.5 mm Ammunition category, you'll find the right projectiles for select air guns and air rifles in 4.5 mm (.177) caliber. The selection includes various diabolos, steel BBs, and other types of ammunition from manufacturers such as Umarex, Walther, ASG, Mauser, DIANA, and Mr. Shoty. When making your selection, the most important factors are the caliber, the design, and approval by the firearm manufacturer. Not all ammunition is suitable for every air gun.

4.5 mm Diabolos in Various Shapes

Diabolos are among the most common types of ammunition for airguns. They are available in different head shapes, which vary depending on the model and intended use. The selection includes, among others, pointed-head and flat-head diabolos, as well as other designs.

Pointed-Head Diabolos

Pointed-head diabolos have a shape that tapers toward the front. This category includes, for example, the Umarex Cobra, Umarex Intruder, Umarex Jackal, and other pointed-head models. Before purchasing, you should check the specified caliber and ensure compatibility with your specific airgun.

Flat-Head Diabolos

Flat-head diabolos have a flattened tip. They are frequently used for shooting at paper targets, as they can produce distinctive impact holes. Which type is suitable for your specific airgun depends, among other things, on the manufacturer’s specifications and the intended use.

Steel BBs and 4.5 mm Round Bullets

In addition to diabolos, the product range includes steel BBs and round pellets in 4.5 mm caliber. These include, for example, Umarex steel BBs, Walther Premium Steel BBs, and ASG Blaster round pellets. Variants from Mauser and other models are also listed.

Steel BBs are not the same as diabolos. The two types of ammunition differ in shape and are not automatically interchangeable. Use only the ammunition intended for the specific firearm model. In particular, for airguns with a rifled barrel or a special feeding mechanism, the manufacturer’s specifications must be followed.

Ammunition from Umarex, Walther, ASG, and other brands

The selection includes various package sizes and product variants. This allows you to compare available items based on brand, caliber, projectile shape, and quantity. Brands represented in the assortment include, among others, Umarex, Walther, ASG, Mauser, DIANA, Browning, and Mr. Shoty.

When comparing products, don’t focus solely on the price or the number of pellets per can. First and foremost, it’s crucial that the caliber and type of ammunition match the airgun you’re using. Additional details such as weight, material, and pellet shape should be checked directly in the respective product description.

How to Find the Right Ammunition

Before placing an order, you should check the caliber of your airgun. The designation 4.5 mm often corresponds to the English specification .177. However, it is not equivalent to 4.4 mm, 5.5 mm (.22), or 9 mm. Even within a single caliber, diabolos and round pellets can differ in their design.

Therefore, always check the specifications on the gun and in the owner’s manual. If the manufacturer specifies a particular type of ammunition, you should adhere to that specification. The product details in the online store help you match the caliber, type, and package contents.
