It's not the fps that kills, but the shape of the pellet that will do the job. All the pellet shapes will kill the rabbit, but hollow point pellets will mushroom on impact and make a clean kill. other pellets might travel right through the rabbit and it will hop off and die later
Normally a 600-700 fps air rifle will kill a rabbit at around 30-40 yards away. So this will include a .22 caliber air rifle or if your looking for something with less power that will just kill birds, try looking for a .177 or .20 caliber air rifle but if you are looking to hunt game like rabbits go for .22
any air rifle that fires a .177 pellet over 600 FPS should be sufficient
I doubt it.
Gamo Hunter Extreme 1650 FPS - Air rifle .177 Cal Air Force TalonP 900 FPS air pistol .25 Cal Hatsan AT P1 Air Pistol .177 870 FPS The Air Force TalonP is faster in .25 Cal than the Hatsan .177 Cal
The 1760 uses a C02 powerlet and fires a 177 pellet at 600 FPS. MFG 1999-2005
600 FPS - Pellet 625 FPS - BB
With the right pellet you you can, But it should be a hunting Pellet (Hollow-point) and it should be a heavy pellet not a light weight pellet with at least 900 to1000 FPS.
Not Likely. That is too slow. You would need around 600FPS.
the mx fps anywhere is around 600. 400 fps penetrates the skin so 600 fps could (if shot in the right places) could seriously damage someone.
175m/sec with 0.45gram pellet.
Yeah eventually from lead poisioning! Not a good idea. Coyotes are to big for an air rifle.
