What is the best pellet gun for shooting small varmints?
There are several available. The most common are and readily available are made by Gamo and Crosman. But there are over 100 different manufactures. Most are available on the web. Any air rifle that fires above 800 FPS ( feet Per Second) will be sufficient. BUT: here are a few things to remember. Stay away BB guns and rifles or any combination of BB and pellet rifles. They are just not accurate. I suggest a spring powered rifle ( Break Barrel). These will be the most powerful. C02 rifles are fun but are not as powerful as a Springer. Pump rifles are good but you have to pump them 10 times to take a shot. The downside to a springer is you have to cock it every time you take a shot. But it is more effective for taking out varmints. Use hunting pellets, They Mushroom when they hit the target and will make a clean kill. If you can afford it select a .22 caliber air rifle over a .177 caliber rifle. It will have more knock down power than a .177.

Can a 1300 fps airgun kill a deer?
If you are talking about a .177 caliber pellet. Most likely the answer is NO. But if you are talking about a 45 caliber or 50 caliber pellet then the answer is Yes. Pellet guns come in .177, .20, .22, .25, 9MM, 45 cal and 50 Caliber. The last 3 sizes are fired by PCP air rifles (Recharged pneumatic ) that require a scuba tank to charge them to 3000 PSI. They are still pellet rifles just the BIG BOY of pellet rifles.

Can you shoot BB with the Gamo PT-85 CO2 pellet gun?
The Gamo PT-85 is designed to shoot Pellets not BB's. Here's why. The barrel in the PT-85 is rifled meaning it has grooved down the barrel that make the pellet spin as it leaved the barrel. Pellets have a soft skirt that catches the C02 blast. This skirt conforms to the grooves as it travels down the barrel. This spinning makes the pellet very accurate as it travels to the target.
BB's are usually fired from a smoothed bore barrel, much like a straw, BB tumble as they leave the barrel and can wander off target easily. When a BB is forced into a Pellet rifled barrel. It doesn't conform to the grooves, what it does is scrape the grooves off a little at a time. Each shot damages the barrel a little more making the rifle barrel worthless for pellets.
Forcing BB to be fired down a pellet barrel will ruin a very good rifle in a very short time. It will no longer be as accurate as it once was.
How do you make a Sharp Ace Hunter 177 air rifle more powerful?
It's very hard to change the power of the rifle without changing the components in the rifle. However it is possible to change the how the rifle reacts when firing the pellet.
Now don't confuse speed with power, they are two different things. You can change the speed of the pellet by simply adding a few drops of Crosman pellgun oil into your pellet tin and rolling the pellets around in the oil (Don't over oil) this will lubricate the pellets and the barrel. They will go faster but will still have about the same power.
Pellets come in different weights. A lightweight pellet will fly faster but will also drift off target easier due to cross wind. A heavy weighted pellet will fly slower, BUT will fly straighter and have more knock down power. Think of it this way. Your on a motorcycle and a fly hits you in the face, It hurts, but if a bumble bee hits you I the face it REALLY hurts.
Pellet shape makes a big difference. I suggest hollow point pellets for hunting, they mushroom on impact and make a cleaner kill.
Pellets are weighed by GRAIN. .177 come in 4.8 Grain up to 9.8 Grain. Believe me this makes a big difference in power.

What is age of Benjamin sheridan C9A series 5mm 20 cal serial 004701027?
I know I'll regret answering this question because there is so much confusion regarding this rifle.
Let me explain. At one time Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 different companies. In 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought-out Sheridan and continued the Sheridan line. In 1992 Crosman air gun company bought-out Benjamin and kept both Benjamin and Sheridan lines going. Up until this time the serial numbering system was very poor for Sheridan. There is even confusion around the C, C9, C9A & C9PB as to when they were produced. Most Sheridan models were just marked "Sheridan" From 1949 to 1990 In 1972 serial numbering began with. #000000. As you can see yours had too many numbers to date it.
I Think yours was made sometime after 1990.
See the link below for dates of manufacture and you will see what I mean. Scroll down the page when it opens to the Sheridan section.
