Can this gun kill birds?

If you pick the right spot, it could kill people, but for small animals it kills them easy. I've killed big skunks around my house with it.

Yes they can, but you still need to keep the minimum safe distance of 10 yards from the target while shooting them with bird shot. Any lead shot on steel targets follow the same guidelines as pistol bullets and shotgun slugs follow the safety guidelines of rifle bullets. Always check with the manufacturer to be sure of their specific recommendations for their targets.

I dont hunt squirrels, but think this Destroyer pellet would be just fine in that case. It is designed to mushroom upon impact rather than going completely through your target. My only kill so far was a crow, and it took off right after I fired, making me think I missed. Wrong, found crow dead on the far side of a fence 100 ft away.

with the right darts you could use it for birds maybe squirrels and rabbits. but would recommend the .60 cal to be safe

This is a powerful gun and requires cartridges. It would not kill a squirrel but injure it and cause pain unless you hit in the head or an organ which would be very difficult to do. The squirrel must have a food source. Remove the food source and it shouldn't bother you any more. If you are feeding birds get a squirrel free feeder and watch the entertainment of squirrels trying to get in it.

Chris, Yes. In fact we've had really good results using it on woodpeckers. The key is isolating the target zone and being close enough with the mount. That means making sure you mount it within 15 feet of the problematic area where they're pecking or landing.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I'm sure it could; but why would you want to do that anyway? They do nothing but bring pleasure, try shooting at targets or cans it's more fun than killing birds.

Not powerful enough, the animal would suffer. This gun is only good for target practice.

i have used bb's to kill lots of things. not a lot of rats around here, but they should work since i have extinguished mice, pigeons, squirrels, ground squirrels and even a rock chuck or two with bbs. just make sure your crosman can shoot bbs and you should be good.

Sorry for the delay, In my personal expirience, im affraid it could kill a rabbit but at very short range (about 12 feet, with pellets. a humane killing its very unlikely with this gun, unless you hit at very short range in some spots of the head (face). Regards

No it could not. Unfortunately it is just thin plastic used to deter birds. It is relatively easy to remove by hand.

Please don't. The absolute minimum energy required to kill a squirrel with a headshot is 3 fpe, which this thing just BARELY makes. That said, steel BBs in a smooth bore gun are NOT accurate enough to make headshots past 10 yards or so. Buy a springer, or better yet a .22lr gun if you want to hunt small game. This thing is for target shooting.

i only use mine on squirrel and grackles/crows.....i also like a clean kill and don't feel a light .22 cal pellet at under 1000fps gives a clean kill unless a headshot....the gun is capable of those headshots, so depends on the shooter, but still personally would recommend a different gun.

I must assume that you aren't really really close to these animals! This gun will not harm them but it sure can piss 'em off. The gun is powerful enough to put out an eye however. If you are trying to run the animals off your property, have at it.

I suppose the round will travel 100 yards. But you'd have to aim high due to the drop of the round over that distance. Also because the round is so small it is subject to drift easily with wind. The farthest I've been able to hit and kill a bird was about 80 yards.

The spray is adjustable, but it would not be strong enough to spray at birds

yes. but a lighter pellet would be better. the lethal is 5.56 grams. there faster and louder in my big cat 1400. I have better groups with them, and the penetration is unbalievable.
