I would use something with a little more power, and not bb's.
With that kind of power, I would just plink with it since it's
a "bb" gun. Taking squirrels even at that close of a range, I would use a gun that has a little more power, and with pellets, at least.

thanks, I didn't think so. I think i'll just go with a .22 since it has more range, accuracy, power, fire rate, versatility, ect. BTW, do you think this will have any penetration at all? If not i'll use it for those pesky half-wild dogs we have running around here... also, could this thing be worth anything? its at least 20 if not 30 or more years old. i don't know how collectible airguns are, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right? i'm not really serious about it, just typing the day away on the Satan-box.

If I were you, I'd just keep it as a plinker, and for those feral dogs you got. It will give them a good sting in the a$$ if anything at all.

Let them eat on the kids. well, there aint any “kids” to speak of- save for the owners of some of the dogs/half way strays around here. apart from that, i have no intention of hurting an animal without killing it and most certainly will not kill a dog of any kind unless it poses a MORTAL threat to me or my family. i do, however respect your opinion and don't mind constructive criticism. hunter, hippy, anti-spay/neuter activist, piero

Wasp spray may be a consideration.
