Will this thing kill a rat at medium/close range?

This is the bb version and it could possibly kill a rat at close range. The pellet version if they are out now will work more effectively

Definitely il be honest this thing packs alot of power and is very accurate

Yes it will, funny that you ask, cause I killed two rats with it at close range.

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.

Yes, but I wouldn't try to shoot one at ranges farther than about 15 or 20 yards away because power would be a little on the weak side out to there. At 25 to 30 feet away you should get a clean kill with a good head shot. For general hunting purposes for squirrels this would not be my first choice because a pistols velocity and accuracy are for close range. For hunting squirrels I would recommend a rifle in the 1000 to 1200 feet per second range. There are several on the market at around 100.00 and less. But if you're just trying to keep squirrels away from your bird feeder this should do just fine....Hope this helps...J Yes, but I wouldn't try to shoot one at ranges farther than about 15 or 20 yards away because power would be a little on the weak side out to there.

Sorry, have no idea how many blocks in a bucket. Likely it will kill lizards directly ingesting the poison. Anything animal that ingests the dead mouse/rat is likely to be affected. I stopped using this poison because of the horrific manner in which it kills........pretty gruesome. I use the rat zappper - much more humane and no possibility of it harming other animals such as one's pets

I think it would, I actually originally bought it for my kids pet guinea pigs. I am sure it would work for rats too.

No, muzzle velocity is only about 500 ft/sec. Not enough energy to kill a rabbit. Mice, rats, and small birds. Best suited for shooting paper (targets).

As far as taking down a small animal (squirrel, rabbit, etc.), this gun will do it. Check your state's laws/rules & regulations to make sure there are no restrictions on the use of an air rifle for hunting. I hope this answer helps answer your question.

I don't know but suspect it will work on all small rodents. It sure kills rats and mice.

No. You'll need something with more power than this. It's very weak and your typical rodent will giggle at its output.

Sorry, never had rats, and don't know if it would work on them or not. Maybe contact manufacturer

it is excellent for squirrels, crows, etc..1 shot 1 kill !!!.. chipmunks are small so if you are a good shot... youre good to gofstedd

It can take down varmints, just attach a 21 or 18 inch barrel with a power valve and an extended probe, use Metal Mag pointed metal tip pellets, these pellets are deadly....they can go through both sides of a heavy empty food can at 50 feet away..with the mods you will get about 28 hard hitting shots, it is well worth it when you hear the sound of the pellet hitting a empty food can and going through both sides....also get yourself a pair of wooden grips which will make the pellet pistol feel way much better then the plastic grips that it comes with..

Doubtful, you would have to be very close, have it not be a very big rat, and hit it just right. Plus, I think the instructions say not to aim at any animals, so.....

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.

If it kills mice and rats, I would assume it would kill these, providing you had the proper enticement to enter the box.

I would assume it could take down small game for pest control. Its high velocity rate has no problem going through a metal coffee can at 50ft with target rounds. With penetration rounds it may have greater effect.

I think only a perfect close range hit would produce a humane kill, and I don't think these have the accuracy or power to do it. I have only found the cheap target bolts that aren't made for hunting.
