I use the Super Colibri ammo in one of those Romanian .22 trainers. There is no "pop," just the sound of the firing pin hitting the cartridge. They're accurate out to about 15-20 yards and deadly!
I realize theres probably not too many cat lovers here BUT I had one that would 'retrieve' for me under these circumstances. I told my Dad about this and he said "Oh Bull????-prove it!" so I pulled the C-1 from the safe and the cat immediatly headed for the deck and started scanning the trees out back. I shot a, well lets not get too specific here, a 'thing' which flew away at high speed. The cat hit the fence at high speed and didnt come back for twenty minutes. I went back inside and put the C-1 back in the safe and looked out back, and here comes the cat with the victim in his mouth. I Miss that cat.
So I got a used Daisy spring-air BB gun that is so low-powered it's laughable. But all you have to do is go out and plink at a few of them. The BB smarts and they dash off. A few rounds of that, they find someplace else to go, and associate humans (you) and your home with danger. There are easier pickings elsewhere.
I prefer this method because, unless I wanted to eat them, there's no point in killing them.
They serve a useful function in the forest around my home and I want them on the job, doing whatever it is they do.
Cueball said:I've had excellent results with my RWS Model 34 air rifle. There have been many squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, possums, and raccoons met their maker as a result of that weapon. It's 1,000 fps which packs plenty of punch and a reasonably good range. Most of my kills have been in the 30-50yd range.
Hope that helps a little.

that may be the best cat that ever lived
