First of all if your gun shoots plastic BB's then DO NOT hunt with it. If it shoots lead or any other metal then it would depend. Here is the recommendations for squirel hunting. .177 cal. lead pellets Minimum 650 F.P.S. PBA pellets 800 F.P.S. Minimum .20 cal. lead pellets Minimum 625 F.P.S. PBA pellets 750 F.P.S. Minimum .22 cal. lead pellets Minimum 580 F.P.S. PBA pellets 725 F.P.S Minimum .25 cal. lead pellets Minimum 550 F.P.S PBA pellets 700 F.P.S. Minimum This is just based on what I've seen work.
