Hi, has any body used this crosman bb-pellet revolver on squirrel?

I have not, and would not use a revolver like this for squirrel. It would be far better and more responsible to use a rifle or other more suitable pellet gun for this. This is a fine revolver in my opinion but not powerful enough to reliably and humanely kill even relatively small animals.

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.

THis is not a very powerful pistol, not accurate enough or powerful enough to kill squirrels reliably. OTOH its powerful enough to do property damage or put someone's eye out. E.g. you must use a lot of care even with low powered air guns. To shoot squirrels with a high chance of hitting them in a lethal spot and with enough power you need a spring piston air rifle, at the least. BTW its illegal to shoot squirrels with air guns in many states.

yes it can this shoots at 1000fps you can shoot squirrels with a gun that shoots with 700fps

I have not killed anything with mine. It will send a hollow point pellet through both sides of a steel can. I imagine that a head shot made at close range would dispatch a small animal.

This gun shoots 7.9 gr lead pellets right at 1000 fps. That is WAY more power than needed for rabbits, squirrels, and birds, including crows. At ranges to 30 or 35 yards, it is also enough power to kill groundhogs, possum, and raccoon with head shots! Not suitable for larger game like coyote though. And it is VERY lethal if you put the pellet where it should go!

I would not use this for an up close attempt to kill a racoon. This air rifle will handle squirrels, rabbits and maybe even a small possum with a well placed shot. Racoons are bigger, thicker skinned and mean as hell.

Yes you can kill small game with it. I've taken several rabbits,countless squirrels and two raccoons. It's like any other weapon,shot placement is the key.

Yes.................it works with BB's as well......my 10 year old daughter uses her pink red ryder to knock the squirrel down

You'll probably need leads to pest control with this. I've had squirrels take multiple shots before dying, which is inhumane and sometimes even get away. You may want to invest in a higher end pumper, or a break barrel for pest control. Lead free pellets just don't have the punch needed to kill.

No it won't ! It handles the bbs fine but I tried the pellets u mentioned and they jammed! No damage but do not recommend trying!

Not sure, but it will take down squirrels with no problem. I would imagine it would take out a griund hog to. Just use the pellets that break apart on impact to maximize damage.

Oh, by the way...avoid the steel shot they sell at the sport goods store. They can seriously bounce back and smack you in the face!! Its better to buy some Hornady .44 cal lead balls, like the kind used for blackpowder pistols. Heavier, but more knockdown power and much less chance of riccochet. Thats what I use for squirrel and possum hunting.

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

Only if you shoot in the head or heart; I use it to kill pidgins but squirrels (at least those around here in Mexico) have even taken rifle shots and still manage to run away far enough I cannot find the corpse, so I won't recommend it to kill those.

This is an awesome rifle, trust me on that. The cartridge seal is great and as advertised is good for about 200 rounds. I bought this months ago to control the squirrels and replaced my first cartridge this past weekend.
