One of my students had a pellet gun in school a few years ago. I know that they can be had here, and apparently by middle school students. I don't mean an Airsoft gun or those plastic guns. This was an honest, .17 caliber, lead pellet air gun.

Does anyone know where to buy these? I could get by with a BB gun, but I need steel or lead pellets. I do high speed photography and when I was in the US, I used my .22 rifle for breaking glass. I want to do some more photos here, but I need a pellet/bb gun to break glass. The plastic ones just won't do the trick.

Thoughts?

Hmmm... I'm not sure, but I can ask around. What kind of a camera setup do you use for high speed photography?

I use a Nikon D90 with an old 35-135mm lens that has a macro setting at 135 and a SB-25 speedlight. I made a few different triggers, a sound trigger for gun shots and a infrared beam for dropping things.

You can purchase them at itaewon, but there is a speciality store in Technomart at Gangbyeon and an even bigger airsoft store in jeonja landeu in Yongsan

Please note, I need something that shoots a metal pellet/bb, NOT airsoft.

At Sindorim Technomart, on the same floor as the Prime Bookstore, there is a very large hobby shop. Not only does that store sell some airsoft type stuff, but they have a dedicated fake gun store next to it. I imagine they'll have what you're looking for.

Technomart should be easily accessible

Take a look here: http://gunsshop.net/

There is also a group: http://cafe.daum.net/AirRifle

Actually, you can find lots of places if you do a search for 공기총 (air rifle).
