Found this tiny metal thing in my shower weeks ago. Been keeping it, just in case i found out where it belongs to. Still didn't figure it out.

I have some .177 next to me I’d say it looks closer to .22 cal, maybe even .25 depending on OP’s hand size. Addition: I’d also say it’s unfired.

It could be a larger caliber. Still a wadcutter pellet from an air rifle.

Not .178? You used a caliper, I assume

That's a standard caliber measurement.... but being from a communist state, that treats a Red Ryder BB gun as a firearm, you wouldn't know that...
