Before answering, this is my story. My birthday was the 12th of December and I received a pellet gun. Without a though I put it together and tried it. Today is 1/8/16 my birthday was last year i'm 14 years old and I have a habit of chewing on things. So without thinking or reading the back I made a dumb mistake, yes!, I put the pellet in my mouth and I chewed on it then spit it out. 3 days ago I read the back of the package and realized it said "These pellets contain a chemical known to the state of California that can cause cancer" I have many reasons to be worried. And today is Friday therefore i'm at school so on Tuesday, I will look at this for reply's at 1:30PM. BTW i'm the one who asked this question.

Shotgun pellets are typically made of lead or steel. Lead has been traditionally used for shotgun pellets, but steel pellets are commonly used in areas where lead ammunition is prohibited or for environmental reasons.
Air gun pellets are made out of lead or some other soft material.
First of all if your gun shoots plastic BB's then DO NOT hunt with it. If it shoots lead or any other metal then it would depend. Here is the recommendations for squirel hunting. .177 cal. lead pellets Minimum 650 F.P.S. PBA pellets 800 F.P.S. Minimum .20 cal. lead pellets Minimum 625 F.P.S. PBA pellets 750 F.P.S. Minimum .22 cal. lead pellets Minimum 580 F.P.S. PBA pellets 725 F.P.S Minimum .25 cal. lead pellets Minimum 550 F.P.S PBA pellets 700 F.P.S. Minimum This is just based on what I've seen work.

This mixture could be used in applications where both the weight of lead and the lighter weight of aluminium are desired. One common use is in shotgun ammunition, where the lead provides density for stopping power and the aluminium reduces recoil. It is important to handle lead with caution due to its toxicity.

Lead is an element, it is not made of anything but lead. But if you are talking about pencil lead then pencil lead is made of graphite.
The most common target air rifle pellets are made of lead, although other materials such as tin, steel alloys or even plastic are used for pellets.
Radioactive pellets are small, sealed capsules containing radioactive material. They are often used in medical treatments for conditions like cancer, where the radioactive material can be targeted to specific areas of the body to kill cancer cells. Proper handling and disposal of radioactive pellets is essential to protect the health and safety of individuals and the environment.
Depends on the size of the shot, whether the shot is lead, steel or something else, the weight of the load and the gauge of the shell. A lead 1 oz load of #6 birdshot is about 225 pellets.
