Okay well I shot a bird with a shotgun. I used my .50 caliber airgun and put bb's in it and packed a tissue down and fired from 10 feet away. I think it died.

I have been known to knock down a few rabbits and pigeons for the cooking pot with my .22 air rifle.

I'm a bowhunter. Deer and turkey.
Not very successful but hey, lots of quite time spent with nature.

I'm a devoted airgun hunter my self. I got a .22 Benjamin Marauder PCP, I killed hundreds of little tree rats with it.

I use steel slingshot ammo in my airguns. Once I took out a squirrel. ProChrono says that the pellet travels at an average speed of 737 fps and I am using 1/4 inch ammunition. I also find fishing weights work well in my big PLG gun. That think could slay and elephant, not really but I'm sure it could kill at 160 psi. Slugs travel almost 800 fps. :cl:
