Yes it just depends how well you place the pellet and the fpe on the rifle a head-shot on a raccoon is good and heart and lung shot is good but you should place the shot
at only how good the gun and your own air rifle about 25-30 yards. Your rifle should have at least 1000 feet per second.

What will a pellet gun do to a raccoon?
It depends on the size of the raccoon, the pellet and the power of the rifle. If you intend to kill the raccoon, then I would suggest hunting pellets ( called hollow point pellets ) and using a .22 caliber pellet rifle. Do not use a BB gun. Hollow point pellets deform when they hit a target and have maximum knockdown power. A head shot is the most humane shot.

Will a pellet gun kill a you?
Yes it is possible. An air soft gun will not kill you but a pellet rifle is capable if killing a person. Pellet rifles come in several calibers. .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 45 cal and 50 cal. The last 3 calibers are fired from a PCP pellet rifle. This rifle (PCP) uses a scuba tank to charge the rifle with 3000 psi of air. All of these pellets are capable of injury or death.

Kill a duck with a pellet rifle?
Yes you can kill a duck with a pellet rifle, but it depends on the model and where you shoot the duck. Cheap pellet rifles under $100 usually are not powerful enough to put the duck down without it suffering. A good pellet rifle $150 or more will be sufficient. Also I suggest you use hunting pellets (Hollowpoint) they will be the most effective. A head shot is the best place to put it down quickly. Also it may require a license to shoot the Duck depending on where you live.

What will a bb gun do to a raccoon?
It will really make it mad. BB guns rarely have the power to take down a raccoon. For that you will need an Air pellet rifle. I also suggest using hunting pellets. BB do not deform when they hit a target and will make the animal suffer and die from infection most likely. Hunting Pellets ( Hollowpoint pellets) will mushroom when they hit and kill the animal right away.
