.177 Wasps

[Rickenbacker]

Hrm... The 'new' (and rubbish) Wasps I've seen are in metal tins, and do not have 'Eley' printed on the tin anywhere.

I believe Eley couldn't be bothered to make pellets anymore, and sold the trade name 'Wasp'...

Maybe the ones you have are fakes based on the crappy versions!!

the old wasp were the best budget pellet money could buy and suited for 5.6mm british airguns and very good in FAC airguns as they were a harder pellet and didn't distort easily.

Thanks All

I know about the new Bisley-made "Wasp" rather than "Eley Wasp" pellets and I certainly would not buy these Bisley made pellets

I'm trying to work out what I have purchased in these plastic tubs with an "Eley Wasp" sticker

The quality is truly s**t

I hope you didn't buy too many

I'm confused

If the pellets I have purchased in black plastic tubs which were advertised and sold as "Proper Eley Wasps" are "Proper" Eley Wasps why are they nothing like the ones I have in a tin with a date stamp which says 4/94 which are super quality.

Does anyone know if real Eley Wasps were actually sold in these black plastic tubs?

Thanks all

I bought one of those plastic tubs last year. I have only ever seen the one! Yes, they are rubbish, mostly bent and thin and too light. They say Eley on the label unlike the later ones in a tin, which are better. The original Eley Wasp which I still have some of are superb though. I wonder what the real story is with these plastic tub horrors?
