that’s a 22cal pellet — it doesn’t _really_ matter, but I thought you might want to know.
although to be a pedantry completist, it’s entirely possible that it’s actually a .177 pellet. without a scale reference in the photo, etc etc.

But besides that, the photo is really good. I made a photocell flash trigger for the Arduino, and played with an audio trigger as well, and it is tough to get good lighting, timing, and composition like this.
