Not a pellet gun, but as subject says a BB pistol. This one is a blow back action. I just got it yesterday. I did not get home until about dark so just played with it unloaded, took it down for a look see and to lube a bit. Slide and barrel removal is very similar to that of a 1911 firearm. Loading the first magazine with BBs was difficult as it was hard to retract and hold the follower. After shooting that first load I lubed the channel where the BBs are loaded and the follower now retracts and is easier to hold. Accuracy, I did not test on paper, but used the soda can approach. Starting at about 20 feet I was immediately bouncing the can around, and the BBs were completely penetrating it. I bounced it back to around 30 feet before stopping as it was a little cool for extended shooting with CO2, about 48-50 degrees. I honestly was hitting that can every shot so no complaints about accuracy on my part as this being a smoothbore is obviously no target pistol, but fun. The blowback action makes it seem more like shooting a standard 1911 without the heavier recoil. The slide even locks back after the last shot.
I like my more accurate guns like the HW 45 and 75, but this one seems to be tops for close range fun. I did order a few extra magazines so I can load several for more extended shooting sessions. Each magazine holds a CO2 cart as well as the BBs and has the valve assembly for discharge of the gas, so this way after shooting a mag which holds 18 BBs it will have time to warm back up before reloading and using it again.

Very interesting. You may have shown me what to do with all of these CO2 cartridges I have.
