Looks like Gamo Platinum PTA at 5.1 grams if you consider lead free options. RWS Hobbies for lead as recommended prior by Shuggoth.

There have been some plastic outer / sabot cored hybrids made by SKENCO that ran about 4 grains or so.
Made In Hungary, tho no idea if or not there still available ?

The JSB RS 7.33's are my go to light pellet. Can also get them in 4.52 head size from Air Arms. They work in pistols and rifles with very good accuracy.

These ones Motorhead?
I was given a sample of these years ago by a friend and I've kept them as a curiosity.
Evidently he picked them up on one of his business trips, don't know where he got them and have never seen them for sale.
I tried one (and only one) in my FWB124 and it was like dry-firing the gun
Testing in lower power springers found them to be substantially less accurate than regular pellets.
The negative experience with these composite pellets has made me dubious (perhaps unreasonably so) of all the fancy two-part offerings (like Predators) on the market. Some people swear by the Predators (and similar offerings) but I can't see any performance benefits over the much less expensive standard lead pellets. Maybe you can comment on them.
Cheers!

They had @ 4 versions as I recall. The sabot style / weight changed with differing designs they offered.
Those are sorta similar, but the skirt tail / sealing band of those shown above are different.
The SKENCO offering looked a lot better quality wise having no obvious parting line / cast / extrusion artifacts.
Here are some for reference:
These are .22's FYI
Red = 18 grain
Green = 10.4 grain

They look very strange. How well do they shoot? What speed do they shoot? Co2 speeds? Specialized ammo for Co2s? Bueller? Bueller?

These are the lightest I have seen.

I measured the BC for them years ago, it came out as .0025. They made a nice bang if you managed to hit what you were aiming at.
