![]() ![]() So - no - you don't need ultra-high velocity in an air-rifle to kill prey humanely at sensible distances. And modern air-rifles (particularly pre-charged weapons with no recoil) are accurate enough to deliver that accuracy. ![]() nb - ft/lb is a much better indication of "power" - fps measurements by gunmakers tends to be used with ultralight pellets.)Ī typical 11ft/lb air-rifle will take standard UK prey - rabbits/squirrels/rats/pigeons - comfortably out to 40 yards - If HIT IN THE HEAD - at which distance they are delivering around 5-6 ft/lb of energy. Most airgun hunting in the UK is done with sub-12ft/lb rifles (you can get air-rifles with 2-4x that power, but need a firearms certificate to buy/use).
