Yes it will. Use pointed pellets and hit em in the head. Flathead pellets are more of a blunt hit and can stun them, and most of the time dont penetrate.
Yeah it should. depends on how many FPS it is. Like T says get the pointer pellets. The new ones are pretty wild and have good penetration power.
Ya it should work. Get a head shot and they will go down with any FPS gun. But you should use the crosman destroyer pellets. they are pointed and hollow so when they hit, they will double their size.
Yes it will get the job done just aim for the head.
yes it deffinetly would that is what i use and it works fine
Absolutely. I aim for the head and use pointed pellets. It would probably workout hitting it in the body but obviously the head is the safe shot.
If you use performance ballistic alloy pellets (pba) you will get more fps and therefor a greater chance at a kill
It depends; within 20 yds yes; farther, I doubt it. Don't aim for the head, it's the size of a tangerine and you're probably not going to it it, hunt it like it's a deer and shoot just behind the shoulder and use hollow points.
I'm with jr.squirreler on this one, i shot one with a daisy modle 880 last week using destroyer pellets hit to the jaw instant kill. about 15 yards.
