Is it powerful enough for to shoot and kill small game??

Yes, I'm sure that it has enough power for animals such as squirrels and rabbits.

It is a variable pump power rifle so it matters how many time it's pumped. Six to eight pumps should do it. Range to target also should be considered. I owned one as a teenager and it always did the job. Can be easily fitted with a scope by using a "Air Venturi" inter mount kit. This kit is by far the best of the two available for this rifle. Except for not having a metal trigger guard it's still a powerful rifle. I do suggest using only Crosman ammo and the super point ammo works well with rifled barrel for better accuracy. Polymag rounds aren't crosman brand but offer exceptional penetration and expansion on impact. I hope this helps. Happy and safe shooting.

The gun this cat "owned as a teenager" was probably built by Benjamin-Sheridan, and made in the U.S.A. Crosman couldn't compete with Benjamin, so they bought the Benjamin Company. Crosman then Closed the Benjamin Factory, cheapened the Benjamin name, and has these rifles made in China. Can you kill stuff with it? Yes, you can kill animals with the cheapest of air-guns. I wouldn't buy this again, and I wouldn't suggest a friend buy a 392.

it could hunt small to very small game. and the darts are a couple inches long and very sharp. fly perfectly unless damaged.

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

Sorry for the delay, In my personal expirience, im affraid it could kill a rabbit but at very short range (about 12 feet, with pellets. a humane killing its very unlikely with this gun, unless you hit at very short range in some spots of the head (face). Regards

Small to medium game no problem. I would think with the right tips and bolts a deer as well not sure I would use this on a moose.

My experience has been, yes. Although my friends and I are not using extremely powerful guns. But for casual games, they work for me.

No it's way to weak. For that bu need a CO2 hang gun or pump.some thing bigger more power is better like crosmen optomos it will take out any little critter

No, You will need something closer to 600 or 700 feet per second before you can hunt small game.

It can handle any fps a small caliber can deliver. 22., 17hmr, etc. I haven't shot .223 bullets at it yet. I bought it for pellets, and it barely turns over.So this thing is made for bullets. Happy Shooting...

Yes it is accurate up to 30' and will kill small game. I have found that if you sight your rifle with one type of pellets and then switch to a different type, you will loose some accuracy.

Not for hunting. It uses BB's and pellets, but the muzzle velocity is very low (weak); about 350 fps. Good enough for shooting paper targets and cans for fun and target practice.

Its not bad, I gave it to my 7 yr old daughter however my 5 yr old can shoot it. It has some power to it as well, my wife sent an arrow through our metal shed...

Probably a little over kill. You could get something smaller that could do the job just fine.

Short answer, no. A gun only producing just over 20 foot pounds of energy is only good for small game (squirrel, sparrows, chipmunks, etc).

in my opinion it doesn't have enough velosity for a humane kill with a fresh cartridge they claim 400 fps. get a break action pellet rifle with 1000 fps or higher
1189891
No. Just BBs. This thing is really just for fun. I don't believe there is enough power to kill anything even if you could use a hunting round anyway

Definitely not. this gun is not strong enough to humanely kill any animals. It is designed to plink and shoot cans. For a comparable pistol that may be used to hunt, check out the Crosman 1377. This is a fantastic gun, but it simply does not have the power to hunt with.
