Can a 22 pellet gun kill a deer or a goat?

Answer 1

If you are asking about .177 cal, it will kill small rodents and birds. 20 and 22. cal will kill small game like squirrels Large boar 45 and 50 CAl will kill large game (Deer and moose) Yes, air rifles are made in 45 and 50 caliber. They are of the PCP family of air rifles. They are made by Shinsung see http://www.pyramydair.com/p/career-dragon-slayer-50-caliber-air-rifle.shtml

Answer 2

Most Pellet guns and Rifles will kill a rabbit. I suggest using Hunting pellets for the quickest kill. BB guns are a poor choice for hunting rabbits. The BB do not deform when they hit a target and will make the rabbit suffer, where the pellet is designed to put the animal down quickly.

Answer 3

There are some manufactures that make very powerful pelet guns. Some air rifles can be as powerful as a .22 caliber rimfire. So it is possible, however if not killed initially, infection would be the slow painfull death of the animal. It troubles me as to why you would ask this, if you were a hunter you would already know the answer. Raccoons are amazing creatures. These highly intelegent critters can be a nuisance but generally a good solid garbage can with a lockable lid will end your frustration with them. If that doesn't work contact a nuisance wildlife control officer and have the animal relocated. I wont trap and relocate in the spring as it may be a female nursing young, so keep that in mind and please don't shoot any animal unless your intent is to harvest it for food.

Answer 4

Yes it is possible to kill a snake with a pellet gun. But I suggest that you use hunting pellets they deform when they hit a target and make a clean kill. Do not try to kill a snake with a BB gun. I also suggest you use a pistol the produced at least 500 FPS ( Feet Per Second) Almost any of the newer air rifles will kill a snake, most of them start at 600 FPS and go up to 1250 FPS. When hunting I use a .22 caliber air rifle with Predator Hunting pellets. These are bone crushing pellets and kill quickly.

Answer 5

Yes but it depends on the size of the raccoon, the pellet and the power of the rifle. I would suggest hunting pellets ( called hollow point pellets ) and using a .22 caliber pellet rifle. Do not use a BB gun. Hollow point pellets deform when they hit a target and have maximum knockdown power. A head shot is the most humane shot.

Answer 6

Not a slingshot alone, but a person can use a slingshot to kill a rabbit.

Answer 7

probs not, it may actualy take a while though but it will be long and painful death for the deer or goat
