We have a Gamo Varminter with scope and flashlight. It works great! And quiet. ☺

It's illegal to fire a gun within city limits here. However, that doesn't seem to apply to air guns. So far haven't had any problems with gophers or groundhogs. Should the squirrels turn out to be a problem, I'll go after them with an air rifle.

CB bullets can get stuck in a long rifle barrel.

I have had coons, possums, and skunks attack and kill my chickens, ducks and geese. I have had coyotes attack my sheep and goats.

My livestock is worth protecting and I will defend my property with lethal force.

You are talk about squibs.
I’ve seen squibs in lightly loaded .45 s used in CAS matches. Guys put so little powder to keep down recoil that they dont make it down the barrel. Nasty. If you don’t catch a squib you can damage the gun/yourself on the next shot.
I’ve never seen it with .22 cb caps from brand names. I’ve used CCI or Remington CB caps for decades without any mishaps.
