Trying to find an answer to this will drive you crazy. I also live in Calif. (See the #1 link below for the long answer) As for me. I never shoot in open view of the public. "IE front yard" however I do shoot in the back yard out of the view of the public. I always use a pellet trap. I own several air guns. Lets just say more than 20, BB guns and spring powered air rifles I shoot in the back yard. High powered (PCP) air rifles, These are the ones used for hunting large game, up to 50 caliber, I take to the range. Did you know that air rifles have a noise rating. See link # 2 below. Then click on the rifle and open the specifications to see the noise rating

For us to answer, you would have to define "better". I can target shoot at 50-100 meters with a .22 target rifle, and I can't do that with a pellet gun. But I can target shoot in my basement during bad weather with a pellet gun- and I can't do that with my .22s.

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.
Will using a different brand pellet in your air rifle ruin it?
No. Pellet rifles are designed to shoot all brands of pellets. But remember pellets, unlike BBs come in different sizes. So if your rifle shoots .177 pellets, only shoot .177 size pellets not .22 size or any other size. Never shoot BB's in a pellet rifle unless it is designed to shoot pellets and BB. It will say in the instructions if it can shoot both. Also remember that pellets also come in different weights. Light pellets will fly faster but are not as accurate as heavier pellets that fly slower but straighter and have more knock down punch.
