Can you kill animals with it like a big fat 3lb squirrel or a racoon?

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.

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 suppose you could...It's in pellet form but I think it's best to use a feeder to keep it dry and control the amount you are using.I have two setup using the Wilco Ground Squirrel Bait stations. I killed off the Ground Squirrels a long time ago but continueto use it to control the Voles here (Nevada)...

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

I don't know if it can kill a grizzly, but I have taken black bear with mine and it did an excellent job. I hope this helps

I wouldn't doubt you could easily take down a rabbit, squirrel, bird or any small game for that matter. I have yet to try but judging by the velocity I'm pretty sure its safe to say this item can easily be lethal specially to rabbits I believe, yes!

If you pick the right spot, it could kill people, but for small animals it kills them easy. I've killed big skunks around my house with it.

No, I don't think it would kill a squirrel. Not enough power behind the shot.

Yes, it work just fine on animals . We had a pesky raccoon that would come within 6-7 feet of us on the porch, needless to say he was not happy she rubbed her eyes which actually more it work better. She never came back while we were on the porch but the little guys did and one by one they got their shot.

No- definitely not. The biggest animal I would shoot with it is a raccoon or woodchuck and only within 15-20 yards. Squirrels and rabbits I'd go to 30 yards.

I've used the RatZapper for a few years now and can say it does kill ground squirrels, but one needs to use the RatZapper Ultra or the new Raticator Max. Both use 4-D batteries. Anything less and it ends up being a slow torture for the squirrel and usually doesn't kill them. After a couple of kills I always check the batteries to see how much power they still have in them. If the battery strength gets too low, it will not kill a ground squirrel. Overall, it works best on smaller squirrels. I had one unit I had to throw away since it wouldn't kill. The thing would activate, but the poor animal would scream, then lay there paralyzed. After I pulling them out by the tail they had enough strength to walk/run off. Yes, I let them go, since there's no way I'm going to try to kill a squirrel I'm holding by the tail! Go to Ratzapper.org for more info. To bait them, place the dry bait in the rear of the Zapper and then place a few seeds at the entrance. Go to

Yes it surely can. The range of the targeted animal should be within at least 40 yards. A head shot on the turkey would be best as a heart/lung on the coyote would be suggested.

It certainly could but I personally wouldn't attempt it. I consider myself an excellent shot with this great little gun but would never attempt squirrel size game unless it came down to survival. The .177 PC77 is great for small pests such as rats and mice. I would opt for a more ethically appropriate .22 pellet rifle for squirrels.

Only if you are very close. My chrony puts 14.35 grain pellets out at 435-450 fps which is only 6 to 6.5 ft pounds of force AT THE MUZZEL. by the time it is out 20 yards it is only 5 FPE and by 40 is only 4.5FPE .. not enough for racoons, not really enough for a squirrel unless you are within 10 yards OR a "top shot" that never misses a brain shot.

I have not used this with squirrels but if I have another issue with them chewing on my house I will. I think it's powerful enough to do the job. Hopefully you won't find the neighbor's cat inside.

I would ask the manufacturer. It works great on gophers but I've never tried on squirrels. Sorry

I bought mine for pigeons and it does not work very well. and I found one of my dogs with a squirrel in its mouth the other day, so not sure if it will scare them away.
