Could a 22 caliber pellet gun kill a deer?

it may kill a deer if you were lucky. But it is not the best choice for hunting deer. Remember a .22 pellet is the same size slug as a regular .22 cal bullet and I would not hunt deer with a .22 cal rifle. It's just a poor choice.

What is the best caliber air gun for shooting birds?

It's not so much the caliber you want, its your selection of pellet design. A .177 is sufficient to hunt birds but I would select a hunting pellet (hollow point) to use in the rifle. Hollow points will deform on impact and make a clean kill. .20 and .22 pellets have a little more knock down power but the .177 will have a slightly further range. On the other side .20 and .22 caliber pellets are slightly slower in (FPS) Feet Per second, they, because of the addition weight of the pellet, will fly straighter in a crosswind then a .177 pellet.


Does it matter on pellet guns what caliber pellet you use?

Yes, but it depends on what you want to use the gun for. If you want a high velocity pellet, then go with the .177 caliber. It is lighter, therefore it will travel faster. But if it breaks the sound barrier your accuracy is lost. If you want an air gun for hunting, then buy a .22 caliber. They are much larger and heavier resulting in more accuracy and more knock-down power on impact.Those are the most common pellet diameters.

What is a crosman 22 model-120?

The Crosman model 120 was made between 1952-1954. The has a fore arm pump and shot a .22 caliber pellet not a .177 common pellet.

Can a 22 caliber pellet kill a deer?

It may be possible- but a .22 caliber pellet rifle will not RELIABLY kill a deer, and it is probably not legal in your area. A .22 pellet simply does not have the energy to damage nerves and organs to produce a quick and humane kill. .22 rimfire rifles have been used to kill deer, frequently by poachers. However, there have been many more deer wounded by .22s that would die much later from an infection. While it may be possible, it is not a good idea, and definitely not sportsmanlike hunting.
