can this gun take out a small bird

If a person's got good aim and can hit what their aiming at, this gun would have no problem taking out a big bird let a lone a small one.

I can't vouch for how hard it hits as I've never been hit by this one but it shoots pretty good. Accuracy is not the strong point but it will work for scaring off geese. A pellet gun may work better though

If its some type of birdshot it could bounce off it and who knows which way the shot would go.It is a steel target.I use it with my 22 and it is fun to use.

Yes, this airgun is powerful, and accuracy according to it size. I shot a rabbit from 30 yards, just one shot clean kill. I think within 30 yards it is good enough to kill gophers.

I would be careful as the round is small. I have used the Sheridan 5mm on groundhogs and killed them stone dead. It was less than 10 yards with high grade pellets. I wouldn't go after a 25 pound raccoon with a pellet gun, they're just too sinew and muscle bound. Use a 410 shotgun if you can't use a rifle.

No! I bought it for a parakeet and he just climbed out the roof! It is NOT meant for smaller birds!

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.

I don't think so. I had a bird die in mine so had to throw it out. The mother birds get scared by any noise or movement and will abandon their young so I don't recommend this.

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.

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

Being as I would discourage shooting animals, it is not very powerful though should scare off squirrels.

At close range, sub 20 yards. I'd not try a racoon or possum though, unless you are ok with shooting it several times as if slowly dies.

Yes it does its a nice gun for low power hitting if you are using it for hunting it will kill small animals with ease if its just for fun it shoots nice pellets are realy good for it

It's very small, I think it would be dwarfed in half a whiskey barrel. It is a powerful little bugger though. I have it in my birdbath and it shoots the water up with some force.

yeah from my experience with this pellet rifle you can kill rabbits, crows, and doves just fine. Wouldn't try this on a coyote though I feel like it would just hurt it and make it mad...

This rifle works very well on squirrels and small possum, I guess it would depend on how big the groundhog is. For a small one (5 lbs or less) I would say yes. Anything bigger, You may be better off just trapping and relocating them. It would be cruel to have to shoot it 10 times to kill it.

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.
