Have not taken on any squirrels but it will punch through a soda can like it was nothing. Accuracy is very good and it is a nice accurate copy of the M14. I'm pretty sure that if you go after a squirrel, at the very least he's gonna know he's been got!

Most states have hunting laws that forbid use of low power rim fire guns such as a .22 calibre. A pellet rifle such as the Silent Cat would be included in this ban. Hunting anything larger than squirrels with a pellet gun would be ridiculous and cruel.

It's just a single shot gun. I'd go with one that actually fires several bb's at a time.

You just pump it a few times and then shoot 1 bb. Maximum of 10 pumps. I've shot squirrels on 10 pumps and they don't even make a sound. It's just powerful enough to give them a little sting. Ive never shot any game but I imagine it would probly hurt them but not kill them.

There is only one sure cure for squirrels. My application is a .17 HMR. Instantaneous lights-out for Mr. Squirrel, and no worries about ricochet or penetration beyond the target. If you live in an area where the report is a problem, I suggest a high-quality pellet rifle, e.g, a GAMO.

i only use mine on squirrel and grackles/crows.....i also like a clean kill and don't feel a light .22 cal pellet at under 1000fps gives a clean kill unless a headshot....the gun is capable of those headshots, so depends on the shooter, but still personally would recommend a different gun.

i have used bb's to kill lots of things. not a lot of rats around here, but they should work since i have extinguished mice, pigeons, squirrels, ground squirrels and even a rock chuck or two with bbs. just make sure your crosman can shoot bbs and you should be good.

I suggest using 0.20g bbs. They give you the highest fps while also giving the best accuracy.

Yes, it's good for small game as I've harvested 16 squirrels with mine using the Platinum ammo they recommend.

Lead pellets or ball .177 only , shooting bb's will damage it , it will take a 16.3g pellet but deformed the targets . Regular 5g pellets are fine tho

No. It is louder than a BB rifle, but it's not too loud for the neighborhood. I live in a city subdivision, and use it to "discourage" squirrels from ravishing my back yard garden. I find the Crosman Nitro to be very accurate, so I only need to "discourage" the squirrel once.

Crossman premier dome hollow point shot very well in mine. Plus they are cheap and readily available. Have put down a rabbit and squirrel thus far with good results. Both were about 25 yard shots.

It's only as effective as the person pulling the trigger. Depends on how far out you can consistently hit a quarter size target. I regularly take squirrels from 30-50 meters with this rifle, but it takes lots of time and practice to shoot a springer like this consistently. It's a absolutely awesome rifle, ridiculously accurate with superdomes. Shoots around 800fps in .22, which is enough to fully penetrate a piece of pine or 1/2 plywood at 30 meters, about 27 yards.

Well , pretty much ANY bb gun . Whether it's a pistol , rifle , whatever . If it's a BB gun , these will work . They are copper jacketed steel precision .177 cal bb's .

NO. It will not work well. The Coon might die in a few hours or a few weeks. The 392 & 397 seriously lack power (I own both). I've had rabbits run off after taking a solid hit in the head under 25 yards. The Benjamin is NOT the same gun it WAS 20 years ago. It's weak. Use a .22 short, or perhaps a Spring pellet gun. Don't use a Benjamin or any Crosman product.
