   No, that's a myth from what I've read. It might have a smooth bore. I   
   don't know about this particular Crosman but some are built with a   
   smooth bore for use with BB's, darts and of course pellets but accuracy   
   with the later will likely suffer...   
      
   Also not all pellets have the same diameter. Can be bought over and   
   under sized and can vary through the batch in the tin. Some guys sort   
   their pellets by diameter and weight in the hopes of better accuracy.
