A friend of mine told me he's considering a pellet gun instead of CCI Quiets out of a suppressed rifle because he thinks the pellet gun will get the job done and has less ricochet potential. My understanding is that he's right to be concerned with the ricochet potential of .22LR, but I don't know if he's correct that a .22 or .177 pellet probably won't ricochet with much energy.

Any thoughts?
