Reply With QuoteChairgun says nearly 4 ft.lbs shooting an 8.4 JSB exact (BC 0.0220) at 12 ft.lbs so yes it will penetrate a paper target.
Interesting how quickly it tails off from the muzzle though. If launched at 12 it's got about 10.75 at 10 yds.
Mr Nonchalant.
Does anyone know how much energy would be left in say an average .177 pellet at 100yds.
I would have thought that even making a hole in the paper target at that would be difficult.
This question is because I have recently become interested in long range target shooting but would like a bit more info.

What range for 6ft/b then! as i have been told it takes that amount of power for a kill!!!! pending quarry

It depends of the pellet type you use.
You need to try pellets to see the type that is best for your gun(best bc and accuracy).
Dont expect more than 2,5-3 flb at 100 yard even with the best pellet.
And the trajectory would be like the one of a mortar s

If you need to shoot small vermin at ranges beyond this then you have a valid reason to apply for a FAC for .22 lr or .17 hmr or FAC air. A legal limit air rifle is not the tool for the job.

I have done headshots at pigeons at 50 metres and killed them. At 12ft/b
I wouldn't even consider a rabbit.

Even older than BTDT
A .177 will penetrate one side of a tin can, (not a soft drinks can,) at 100 yards.

At 12fpe ??
Links or evidence
I may be a bit cynical but this doesnt match my experience even at lesser distances.

Anyone can tell me anything but without some proof it has no credibilty.

Unique is an understatement, I'm just a messed up frog pimp.
Digressing slightly, article in this months airgunner says it takes only 0.75ft.lbs to drop a rabbit, may be able to push out to 130+ yds then chaps
Don’t you find it Funny that after Monday(M) and Tuesday(T), the rest of the week says WTF?

Mr Nonchalant.
As with the tin can, I dont believe it.
Unless you count a fluke shot through the eye into the brain.
Jesus we will be hunting with a gat next
That was in Airgunner in what context??

~210 fps with an 8grain pellet = .75f/libs
My fun pistol(rohm twinmaster co2 ) shoots almost twice faster than that and it can't penetrate a tin can at 10 meters, a rabbit at 2 meters maybe it can be killed but i haven't tried.
With .75 libs the rabbit will probably just be scared to death
