What is the difference between an air rifle and a bb rifle?

Question: I'm looking to buy an air rifle but I am unsure of the differences. What are the advantages of these different types of guns?

Answer: bbs are round and are shot out a smooth barrel. generally used for plinking (messing about in your back garden) air rifles shoot lead pellets out a rifled barrel. the rifled barrel makes the pellet spin through the air resulting in a more accurate shot. air rifles are designed to be accurate and are not toys. they are for sport. although bb guns are still dangerous they are basically "toys" and do not have the power, accuracy, or range of air rifles.
