Dear Hunters: I want to buy an air gun or rifle that can be used to kill pigeons or rats. My main issue is that i live in a condo, so noise is not an option. The place is not infested so a few pellets will be used. The distance is less than 40 yards.What should i get for under $400?
>>2856888If noise is not an option and you want to shoot birds them obviously a shotgun is your best choice. But I'm guessing you are going to respond to me how you are a poor yuropoor. Because this isn't about shooting birds it's about you being a lonely faggot.
>>2856889Work on your reading comprehension, bro.
>>2856899You should kill yourself. You are literally everything wrong with the world. If you want to shoot pigeons with a BB gun that's up to you. But you insist to make it a big deal even though even France doesn't give a shit if you shoot pigeons. You are doing your best to make a mountain out of a mole hill. And I hope everyone you know hates you for the rest of your life because you are an idiot.

>>2856888.22 lr with suppressor, or a PCP airgun, depending on where you are in the world.Both are very quiet when suppressed, and reasonably quiet unsuppressed.
you just want to kill shit for fun. stop and think that humans are the real "pest." Someone will eventually see you shooting them in the condo and you will be labled the neighborhood sadist, end up on the news, and a felon for shooting near a dwelling. How about you instead become the neighborhood rat king and feed them until they trust you. Imagine the level of respect and awe you will gain by having an army of rats at your command.
>>2856888I used to live in a small seaside town and seagulls were a constant nuisance. I made a sniper nest with picrel, so that i could get accurate shots from 35-40 yards away. There was a road near my house with lampposts reaching the height of my window(3rd floor). I focused and calibrated my 21 joule air rifle with hollow point hunting pellets to that lamppost. As soon as a gull sat down on it i fired straight into the chest. BLAM it fell down on the ground and flapped around for a bit. Sometimes i hit them in the head with blood spraying and that distinct "pop" sound. That was the most powerful rifle i could get for what little money i had and the optics that came with it were 32x4. So 35 yards with a 21 joule will take down a seagull if hunting ammo is used. Anything like 40-50 yards would need 25J+.
>>2857949Forgot to mention - it's a crosman remington 777sb. Worked like a charm(2000+ shots taken)
>>2856888literally just trap them. rats are easy with a bucket and you can buy a pidgeon trap online that will hold a dozen pidgeons
>>2856917Best answer pretty difficult to prove where a flying rock came from.
>>2857949Bad luck to kill a seabird
>>2856888>I want to buy an air gun or rifle that can be used to kill pigeons or rats>The place is not infested so a few pellets will be usedSo what's the point then? you just hate living things?>>2856889Completely asinine take, going around shooting pest species on the floor near your house with a shotgun is a great way to damage your property. Also iirc in USA air rifles are still legal for felons but actual guns aren't. But you are right about OP.>>2856900BB guns and pellet guns are different things. I agree with the rest of what you said.
