Most common air rifles are designed to shoot targets and small rodents like rats, squirrels and rabbits. However I suggest you shoot these rodents with a pellet rifle not a BB rifle. BB's do not deform when they hit a target and will make the rodent suffer, where as pellets will deform and make a quick kill.

If you really get into shooting with a pellet rifle then you can move up to the big bore air rifles. Let me explain. BB's come in one size .175, pellets come in several different sizes and bigger bore rifles like, .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 45 Cal and 50 cal. the last 3 sizes require a Scuba tank to charge the rifle and will drive a large pellet at over 1000 feet per second. These are capable of bringing down a Boar or larger animal. These rifles are called PCP (PerCharged Pneumatic ) rifles and guns.
