This fellow needs a good air rifle for his area. Almost no noise.

Gee, I'll have to break out my Beeman 660, that gun is a lot of fun to shoot. A fellow I know used one to drive away raccoons from his house, he treed a bunch of them and pooped off a about a hundred hits while they scrambled around the tree. Raccoons are smart, I'm sure they go to someone else's garbage now.

Or use a silencer (actually I know that all they do is suppress the noise, but I will use the colloquial term rather than the technically correct suppressor). Not real clear to me why more folks don't like the idea of reducing gun noise. The ATFE and the rest of the gun grabbers get their knickers in a twist, but more widespread use of suppressors would help IMHO.

No kidding! And some air rifles will rival the power of a .22LR.

Many years ago, I had a friend who had a Crossman 1400 that shot .22 pellets, and later a Sheridan Blue Streak. Those were good to kill pigeons and rats out to nearly 50 feet! And I would hate to ever get hit with one of those pellets! You could put an eye out!
