Good thoughts there, Bodhi. 30 fps is certainly taling it into the low-end .22 rimfire range.
Self-contained? Without a doubt! I'd eliminate, right off the bat: PCP's and CO2's (dependent on an outside power source). SSP's also (accurate, quiet, but not powerful). I'd go with springers and multi-stroke pneumatics.
I'd probably stick with .22, or maybe .25. More punch than .177 or .20. And the REALLY BIG calibers would be less practical on small critters for the pot or roasting stick, which is what you'd be shooting the most. Also, they're very noisy, and you'd want something you could use surreptitiously.

I'd go with a pre-charged with several interchangeable cylinders & a pump, something similar to the Lewis & Clark with a little updating would do me just fine,

Quackenbush LA Outlaw + FX pump should do nicely.
OK then, I'll take one of these, please.

I'd probably go with (a modern interpretation of) Nick's Lewis and Clarke, but it depends on how long term this situation is and if I had a supply of o-rings and lead to cast bullets. If that was in doubt I'd go for a good compound bow, because as long as there's trees you can always make arrows.
