Do you think this pistol could kill squirrels or birds within 10-15 yards?

Don't know about racoons, but squirrels yes! One shotwith hunting pellets. The problem with this rifle is sighting the scope properly. Once it is has, there should be no problems with accuracy. I would think this rifle would take down a racoon also with a head shot, but again, I've no expedience with one, only squirrels.

I suppose the round will travel 100 yards. But you'd have to aim high due to the drop of the round over that distance. Also because the round is so small it is subject to drift easily with wind. The farthest I've been able to hit and kill a bird was about 80 yards.

No , you need a lot more FPS and a bigger round like a .22 pellet , to be able to humanely dispatch a squirrel , you never want to make an animal suffer even when it is a nuisance pest as squirrels can sometimes be .

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.

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

Hell yeah you can its extremely powerful.You could blow a squirrels off I'd get some type of sight I got a laser because with just the iron sights it does about 10/12inch group with the laser about 5inch group

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.

Yes it would. Out to 100 yards it picks up very well and as long as there is not grass or limbs between you and the small game it will range them. I have even ranged flying ducks at 65 yards with it.

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.

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)

I can only speak from experience of my son and husband, but they have NO problem. They go squirrel hunting, and they can stand on our deck and hit a squirrel up a tree at least 60 yards away with no problem. They have never done anything more than squirrel hunt, but I can tell you the gun kills them, no problem.

This is a powerful gun and requires cartridges. It would not kill a squirrel but injure it and cause pain unless you hit in the head or an organ which would be very difficult to do. The squirrel must have a food source. Remove the food source and it shouldn't bother you any more. If you are feeding birds get a squirrel free feeder and watch the entertainment of squirrels trying to get in it.

good question...... I really do not know.......just tried it. no squirrels.. too bad. looks like you can just load pellet and shoot. it may shoot pellet and bb at same time, but no bad effect . thx fstedd

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

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.

Yes and yes it will definitely destroy a pigeon from that range if yor scope is sighted in for it
