It will kill small animals. Pellets are pretty cheap. It’s an excellent tool to have if tshtf.
I love my Gamo 22 slug gun.great for rabbits etc.
They are a great way to improve the skills of you non gun owing family and friends
I have the same one I the picture. Lol
Don’t be fooled. They are not silent. Also forget about maximum fps. Go for subsonic accuracy.
22-cal pellets hollow points & dome top out of a Crossman viper great knock power & one shot kills
Already did duh

I have the Diana RWS 350 Magnum in .22 caliber. This rifle is very accurate and more than capable of taking down small game, I highly recommend it.
I saw one called the Gamo Whisper. Shoots accurately up to 100 yards with a built in suppressor. It’s a very Advanced Pellet gun. Tactical stock with scope. A great looking gun. Price is $250
Grew up with a Benjamin pump 22, recently had it reworked. Also have an RWS fixed barrel side$#%&!@*177. Powerful, accurate, very heavy! I really want a Benjamin Discovery. It seems to me to be the perfect 22 air rifle.
I got this one for Christmas. It’s the Ruger Blackhawk elite. It’s a real good one.
I have a Crossman G1 extreme. I use it for small game and love it! Drilled a rabbit at 35 yards using a PBA raptor pellet and was an instant, clean harvest.
I bet all four reasons would fit on ONE PAGE.!!!! Try it.
Got a Gamo Maxxim 2.2 1300ft per second. Laser, tachlight, telescopic. It’s freakin’ lethal and cost $200.

Don’t forget the Air Rifles out now that are shooting Arrows… they look amazing.
Me too. Lol
Me too. Lol
I Grew up with that the. Went to the 460 under lever, now I only mess with pcp guns and not springers
This is extremely basic, get a .25 cal torpedo tactical for same price, but with consistency and way larger range of animals to hunt
No go for foot pounds of energy per square inch, and accuracy. Aka I’ll take my 900 fps.25 caliber with heavy load stuff over a 1350 fps .177 light ammo because I have far more energy and power in my larger shot
This is extremely basic, get a .25 cal torpedo tactical for same price, but with consistency and way larger range of animals to hunt
hmm, I’ll look into it.
I understand the energy thing. I just want new to air guns folk to understand that just because the box at the big box store says the rifle is fast doesn’t make it useful if you can’t hit anything. Go air gunners!
You can feed youreself with a pellet gun
The one on the picture may not be the best or most powerful pellet gun you can get. But a pellet gun I’d a mice addition for sure
I have this but put a scope on it
also a great way to train folks who never shot a gun or teach your children gun safety and shooting.
I prefer my slingshot.
Yep
Perfect for small game and, you don’t have to register a pellet gun
Make sure you get a higher power one. No co2. Also find the repair manual not just the owners manual so you can keep it working for ever. Maintain it and practice with it and you can feed yourself with small game for a long time.
So much light ammo, quiet.
The native Americans Lewis and Clark interacted with thought their air rifle was the most valuable thing on the expedition
But as one gets older losing grip in hands. When I was younger used marbles with Wham-O slingshot, accurate and deadly.
Where are you going to get air cartridges when shtf?
Right!!! That looks like one of those flea market chinese b-4’s shoots like 350 fps
Right I had one and a pistol too. They break over and$#%&!@*not real fast.
silent and effective for small critters.
Get one that pumps up or a break barrow
The basic air rifles are spring loaded air chambered types like a Winchester 1000x or 1100.
I grew up with a .20cal Sheridan pump pistol. My buddy used the matching rifle. We shot thousands of rounds through them. They never seemed to lose accuracy or power and they still shoot today.
