Which Diabolos for Which Purpose?

Flathead, pointed head, or round head? The best diabolos for sports shooters and where pointed head diabolos are used depend on several factors, particularly the shape and construction of the bullets.

Flathead – Standard Bullet

The standard bullet in shooting sports with air-powered guns are flathead diabolos. These are commonly used by beginners and advanced shooters for shooting at targets, as their flat head creates clearly defined holes in the target. Since they have low penetration power and are susceptible to crosswinds, flathead diabolos are not used for hunting or plinking.

Pointed Head – For Hunting and Plinking

Typically longer and heavier than their flat-headed counterparts, pointed head diabolos are suitable for hunting or plinking outdoors due to their high penetration and depth of impact, as well as comparatively high precision up to 25 meters.

Round Head – For Longer Distances

The excellent ballistic properties of round head diabolos make them the perfect ammunition for long-range air rifles. They are often used for plinking or shooting at knockdown targets.

Hollow Point Diabolos – Air Rifle Ammunition for Hunting

Hollow point diabolos are used in hunting. In Germany, this is only allowed when using licensed air rifles, as freely available airguns do not generate the necessary velocity to cause bullet expansion and ensure the quick killing of the animal upon impact.
