Pistol question

[nuke]

Would it be possible to kill rats with a multi shot air pistol if so what range would it need to be?

a definate no no,if you have to kill something it has to be as quick and humane as possible. you cant guarantee that with the power of a pistol,

The only way to despatch quarry is with a rifle, no pistol is powerful enough, and no shooter accurate enough to do it humanely, buy a 9+ ftlb rifle and do the job the right way.

Yes it may be Possible, but here on the BBS we do not condone the use of a pistol for hunting or killing vermin, lets say at 8 yards do you really think you are going to get a clean humane kill with a sub 6ftlb pistol. I think Not.

Look at the Pistol Section Heading This is what it says:

"Air pistols"
"The place to discuss air pistols, air pistol target shooting and plinking. Anyone posting about hunting in this section will lose access."

Enough Said.

I have only just started air gunning I have a king rat for shooting said rats but I am thinking of getting a pistol for shooting targets in the garden and I was wondering if they were powerfull enough to do the same job so now I know they won't be up to the job I'll use the ratty for getting rid of them thanks for answering my question
