I didn't buy any pellets, as I was just getting the guns for a costume. The rifle, however, came with an 88g CO2 cylinder, about 8 plastic 12-round rotary clips, and a little auto-loader that helps load 4 of these clips at a time. It occurred to me that I had an old pellet gun from Wal*Mart in FL, from around 2001, which I'd taken apart to add a momentary pushbutton, and keychain laser, and after a small explosion of springs, and plastic parts, never managed to reassemble :) It's been following me in a little tupperware container in pieces ever since, though, so I dug it out, and checked. The 2 boxes of pellets in there were the same kind my 2 new pellet guns take - .177 cal (4.5mm). Hooray!
I taped a piece of cardboard, and a sheet of paper to the wall in my dining room, drew some Sharpie dots on the setup, and shot from my living room for about an hour, marking the hit points after each shot, and dialing in the red dot scope to achieve greater and greater accuracy. It was fun.
