How to Load a Pellet Gun Rifle
Every child dreams of one day using a gun, simply because of how cool they look on the television. However, with kids never actually getting their hands on a real gun, the next best thing for them to do is to get their hands on a pellet gun.
Pellet guns, as the name suggests are replica guns that fire pellets instead of bullets. However, despite them supposedly being much safer, a lot of precautions have to be taken when handling these guns. This is because from close range, these guns can also cause a lot of damage.
One of the major concerns with these guns is to load them safely. Most people tend to fail to load their guns properly, and this results in disastrous results, which include the gun going off before it should have.

Acquire pellet rifle
The first step to learning how to load a pellet gun is to purchase or acquire the gun. You can either go out and buy a new gun all for yourself, or you can borrow one, so you may have some fun with it in your back yard.
Now owning a gun will result in you not being able to use the gun in the first place. -

Get pellets
Now before you go on about loading your pellet gun, you need to buy the pellets you will be loading into your gun.
Make sure you go out and buy the bullets which are compatible with your gun, since there are a number of different pellets which are available for guns of various sizes. You can check the type of bullets your gun will require by looking at the barrel, or reading it off the box that the gun came in. -

Load pellets
Now to load the pellets in the gun, you need to hold the gun with both hands. Now place one hand on the handle of the gun, as you flick the shaft of the rifle down wards. The gun has a hinge in it, and the first half will open downwards. Now there will be a hole on the back of the shaft, all you have to do is slide the pellet into that hole.
Once you have done that, you need to go on and flick the shaft back into the original position. Once this is done, you are good to go.
