No, no air rifle has a capablitay to kill a deer. The maruader is a great gun but it can only kill up to a rabbit or mabye a fox. If you try to shoot a deer with that it will charge at you or it will just shake it off.
Benjamin model EB22. Crosman model 2240. Benjamin Marauder Air or C02 Pistol. All 3 of these are .22 cal C02 air pistols, There are several others but they are spring or pneumatic not C02 systems
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.
A 17 Cal. is not legal to use in deer hunting in any state. Yes it can kill a deer if the shot is properly placed but that is not the point. This Cal. is very fast and expands quickly. Penetration on a deer would not be substantial enough to do the job. The chance of wounding the animal is extremely high and that is not hunting. It is not even a good moral decision. This caliber is designed for small game and should be used as such. You should use a large enough cal. to make the kill as quick and humane as possible. I would use nothing less than a 260 cal. Some smaller calibers are allowed but the idea is "quick and humane".
Benjamin (Owned by Crosman) has a new Benjamin Rogue it is a .357 caliber. At present it will be the largest Pellet rifle made with the Benjamin name. Yes it is a hunting rifle. The next largest Benjamin rifle is the Benjamin Marauder .25 caliber. Sam Yang make a 50 caliber and a 44 caliber hunting air rifle.
Benjamin made several 22 cal models. Which model are you asking about.
Benjamin Marauder PCP .22 Cal pistol using C02 not air. Or the Airforce Talon using the short barrel with full Shroud and C02 power supply. The Marauder comes in both a pistol form and a rifle format. Both will cost you around $390 for the pistol and $470 for the rifle. The Talon comes in a rifle format only and can cost as much as $1000 with accessories
Somewhat. The .25 cal is just bigger and hits harder. Other than shape and air pressure behind the pellet, the size and weight of the pellet has a effect on the accuracy. OKAY look at it this way. (Pellets come in different weights.) a lightweight pellet will fly faster and farther than a heavy pellet. BUT it is more effected by crosswind than a heavy weight pellet. The Heavy pellet will fly straighter, slower and have more knockdown power than a lighter pellet. So a .25 cal pellet is heaver and slower than a .22 cal pellet but it has more impact and a little more accurate than a .22 cal pellet. PCP rifles come in different sizes. like .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, .357 cal 45 cal and 50 cal. Hitting a target with a .177 cal is like hitting it with a BB, but hit it with a 50 cal and you rip a huge hole in the target. The .177 will fly a lot farther but the 50 cal is a destroyer. I own both a .22 cal and a .25 cal Marauder. along with several others.
Yes.
Yes If it's a 50 Cal PCP Air Rifle. PCP's (PeCharges Pneumatic) air rifles & guns are designed to hold a pressure of 2000 to 3000 PSI and can take down large game like Deer and Elk. PCP also come in 45 Cal and 9mm along with .177, .20, .22 & .25 Caliber. PCP's are the high end of Air rifles and guns.
It's not the speed of the pellet it's the size and the type of the pellet. Yes a .177 caliber pellet can kill a pig but it most likely would take several shots, depending on where you hit it. Also "Hunting or hollow point pellets" should be used. A head or heart shot is best. I suggest At least a 25 caliber pellet should be used. If you can afford a a good hunting pellet rifle then I suggest a .25 cal Marauder, a 357 Rogue or a .50 cal Sam Yang. But these are expensive and have devistating power because they at PCP class rifles. (PreCharged Pneumatic) There are a few .25 cal springers or Nitro gas like the "Benjamin trail NP XL" that are a better choice than a .177 cal pellet rifle. .177 usually are not recommended for hunting anything larger than a rodent.
Yes, a .50 cal shockwave can potentially kill you due to its powerful impact and force on the body.
it is legal to hunt deer with a 223 in wv but it only has to be a .25 cal for rim fire
