https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Outdoor_Products#Red_Ryder_BB_Gun

The quintessential BB gun. The US Army used them for the 'Principle of 
Quick Kill' method.  It's a form of instinct shooting that used the BB 
guns without sights. The Daisy rifles have a muzzle velocity of about 275 
ft/sec and the BBs themselves are usually flashed with copper and shiny. 
The combination means on a sunny day you can see them in flight and adjust 
the trajectory using the visual cues, sort of like bare bow archery.

Airsoft pellets are larger and are also visible. I had some that were glow 
in the dark which was interesting.
