Would this gun take out a squirrel or a bird?

I am look for a bb/pellet gun I can use. It has to be 10 and up.

The Daisy Grizzly shoots a pellet at somewhere between 300 and 350 fps. (Daisy doesn't specify the pellet weight (heavier pellets give slower velocities), but given that the Grizzly I had back in the 90s said it got 325 fps with pellets I'm betting the 350 fps figure is with light weight (5 grain or less) pellets.) We'll assume for sake of argument that its with 8 grain pellets. If so the gun yields a muzzle energy of between 1.6 (300 fps) and 2.2 (350 fps) ft-lbs of muzzle energy. (If I'm right about what the velocity should be with an 8 grain pellet it works out to 1.9 ft-lbs.) Birds take between 2-3 ft-lbs of impact energy to kill humanely.(1) Squirrels take 3 ft-lb of impact energy to kill humanely.(1) Odds are a Daisy Grizzly doesn't have enough energy to humanely kill anything at any distance. (OK maybe you could kill a mouse at 10 feet... but anything more than that is beyond this gun.)





If you want an inexpensive airgun for hunting, I'd suggest you look at the Crosman 760, Daisy 880, Crosman 664, and Crosman 2100. (Guns are grouped in ascending order of power and quality.) The Crosman 760 delivers 6.3 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and costs $35 at Walmart. The Daisy 880 delivers 7.1 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and costs $40 at Walmart. The Crosman 664 delivers around 7.1-7.3 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and costs about $50 at Walmart. The Crosman 2100 (AKA Remington Airmaster 77) delivers 9.2 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and costs between $60 (at Pyramid Air) and $73 (at Walmart). All of those guns have sufficient power for hunting small game animals at distances between 15 and 30 yards (depending on the size of the animal and your ability to accurately place the pellet). Personally I'd encourage you to go with the Crosman 2100 since that's the best gun on the list. Second place goes to the Crosman 664.Would this gun take out a squirrel or a bird?
no that gun will not kill a bird or a squirrel the best cheapest gun i know of is at walmart from 50-70$ its an airmaster 77 you can kill a bird or a squirrel with it fps 650 i have the remington airmaster 77,( fps 750 ) price 70$ Great gun i wouldnt use bbs to hunt birds or squirrels though there not very accurate but for hunting birds and stuff like that i wouldnt have a gun under 650fps so hope this heped
No I would look for a gun in the 600 fps range or higher to get a clean kill on head shot.For small birds you might get by with 460 or 500 fps.you can find some daisy and crosman pellet gun at these speed at a good price if you shop a round.I have even seen some gamo's coming down in price.
No. Id call in an air strike. I love the smell of naplam in the morning. Or you could use a 5 megaton nuke. Ether might kill it. But to be sure, after its down empty your 12 ga into it. Just joking. No. Id get a .22 for small game.
JKirsch is right ! for $150 id include the benjamin 392/397 or $200 RWS 34, my 2 favorites!
That is illegal in some states (shooting birds and squirrels). I suggest you do some research on your state laws.
no.
Get a blowgun with darts, that will take out a squirrel or a bird and it is WICKED fun. I am serious. Look up blowguns, you actually put in a dart and aim and blow, my older son got one and we were like kids playing with it shooting all sorts of things. It also has plastic darts so if you want you can shoot your brother....lol


No is the answer to your question.

A gun for 44.99 won't do anything
