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.

It looks like a pellet for an air powered pellet gun, but might be too large for that.

In addition to the standard 4.5 mm (0.177), there are other calibers ranging from 5.5 mm (0.22) to 12.7 mm. There are also even larger calibers, but these are more like rare specimens than what one would call standard calibers, and they are truly large bullets.

0.177 is the most popular caliber, which is not classified as a firearm under the laws of most countries around the world. In Ukraine, a special permit is required for larger calibers, and some countries even impose restrictions on bullet energy. The 0.25 caliber is even rarer here than the 5.5 mm (0.22).
