would this gun work on traped critters at close range

only at point blank range and you might half to shoot twice,i shot a rat with it at 20 yards but a coon or oppossums harder to kill.

I would not think so. I trap and need to put down small ground squirrels and I use a .22, CO2 pistol point blank, and I usually have to put in several rounds to quickly dispatch them. I have put about 400 rounds through this model over the past 2 months and I am finally use to it. I started using the lighter, more expensive rounds, but really, the common pellets seem to do OK for my indoor, 45 foot cardboard targets once you learn to adjust for the drop. I have four other types of pellet pistols, but this one I like for the easy loading and cocking. It is plastic, large, so-so quality, but OK for just plinking at the price. I would not think so.

I don't know, mine did not have enough power to go thru a cardboard box. I tried to send it back but the store would not take it because I shot it about 10 times to site it in. They said that made it used... Haven't touched it since. Good luck

Brad, Please listen CLOSELY to what I'm going to tell you. I bought the P900 and IT'S THE BIGGEST P.O.S. that I've ever purchased from Amazon. DON'T BUY THIS ITEM 'CAUSE YOU'LL BE SORRY THAT YOU DID, Instead go with the UMAREX2252268 Browning 800 .177cal. it has the power to kill a ground squirrel at over 150 feet. Yes it may look & feel clumsy but, with the GAMO Precision Pellets "That have "cones" attached" to the front of the pellets most critters don't have a chance. This is the pistol that you want in your hand, the other is just JUNK, and there's the difference.

Not powerful enough, the animal would suffer. This gun is only good for target practice.

It would , if you could get close enough (This gun is not scope wearthy) .Not a quick kill like a .22 or 17hmr . But slow death after it crawls back in its hole.

I don't care for the cheap scope, actually for such a gun the killing distance being close a scope is really useless. A head shot to a squirrel seems effective at 30 to 40 feet. (.177)

Well, I don't use this gun for killing varmints. It's fairly accurate to about 35 feet. You would probably want an air rifle for that type of use. I have shot air rifles before (target range) and I could hit a quarter at 75 feet. Plus, air rifles have more power than this gun does.

I think it will work perfectly. You can only catch one at a time with this trap, but it great for those extra small critters.

It will easily kill a rabbit or squirrel but coons are tough. A head shot is a must and you have to be no longer than about 30 yards.

While you could probably kill a raccoon with it, the answer would have to be no, it would not be good for hunting raccoons. If you get close enough, if you hit in the right place, if you use the right pellet, is too many 'if's. It is too likely the raccoon will scuttle away seriously wounded, which is bad. It is fine for birds, squirrels, and maybe small rabbits but for anything larger look for something that hits harder.

This air gun is reasonably accurate at 100 yds. I have mine sighted in at 50 yds. However, it may not have penetrating power enough to "kill" larger pests.

I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets. It depends on what you are hunting. .177 pellets may kill small rodents and birds at fairly close range. Crows, rats, squirrels, maybe small raccoons and possum. The most deadly and accurate are the pellets that are hollow pointed. The gun will jam if you load some pointed pellets in the magazine. If you are hunting something bigger, you need a gun (preferably, a rifle) that will shoot .22 cal. pellets. You need high velocity to get a clean kill on something larger than rodents. P-25 is only about 420 fps with a fresh Co2 cartridge. I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets.

Maybe but I wouldn't recommend it. The jaws do have the clamping force of a traditional spring trap so I doubt it would be a clean kill. Having a squirrel flailing around with this trap wrapped around it would not be a pretty sight.

The trap works perfectly as designed. If your dealing with a beginner learning to shoot a twenty two pistol or rifle, 7 yards would be good.A more experienced shooter, depending on skill level, might place it 25-50 yards away.

Yes, it will it has taken out several squirrels as well as other pesky animals from 30 feet. no good for long distances but within 35 to 50 feet you should be fine.

I don't see why it wouldn't. If it's in the ballpark of the size of a normal sight housing it should work fine. Unfortunately with the need for adjustment on the sight before the shot you will lose the advantage of this range finder because you will have the draw to range the target, let down to adjust, then draw again unless you have a range finder and are planning to use this for in case the animal moves since you ranged it.

This pistol will not kill any squirrel I have ever seen and it is not very noisy. It is unlikely that it would kill a bird either (unless it was the most unlucky bird ever). I think they would come back when you are not there shooting at them though. Plus a pistol requires a lot of skill to actually make consistent hits. If you want to use airsoft for this an AEG would be a better choice. I still think they will come back anyway.

Yes it will it you hit them in the right spots. Would be really hard to hit a squirrel tho hah. it's a handgun, so hitting small moving targets is difficult. I recommend a gamo pellet rifle for tthat

It should, I would camouflage the trap if possible because shrews are more timid. And know what the shrew eats- better your chances of out smarting it.
