Any springer handguns out there that are legit for small game?

Not looking to buy one, but I am genuinely curious.
I'm kinda guessing that by the time they get up to hunting energy levels, they are very hard to shoot accurately.

Please enlighten me.

Probably not any that can accurately hit anything consistently

The zoraki has some power behind it, and I’ve seen YouTube videos of guys taking pigeons at fairly close ranges with it.

Gotta be the city chicken variety, baited in with a ham sammich!

Those pigeons are tough! I have hit a few of the dumb birds in my truck. Feathers flew, and so did the rats with wings, and kept right on flying.

HW45/BeemanP1, the Diana L8 (or whatever the designation for their Magnum air pistol is), basically anything above about 4-5 ft-lbs. Like Mike said, consistency is a problem with most of them. And you have to be pretty close even with the good ones.
DO NOT USE the Umarex Browning or Ruger breakbarrel pistols. The pellets will literally bounce off a rat at less than a yard.

Look at the hatsan model 25sc theres a vortex or spring one . Lead pellets rated at 680fps+/- in 177

I'd go spring bring I got the gas ram one and the ram eventually went flat -0-;fps lol


Right now hatsan seem to have the older non QE like mine in referb deal and a 15% off referb sale going so that may put it under a $100 easy ..

Then your choice I'd the newer QE one

Wow, 58lbs cocking effort on this thing. That's a handful. No wonder it gets the velocity.

I got mine gifted to me and the cocking extension thing was missing . At first it was a bear to cock just using the plain barrel but over time it became nothing but a thing you never thought about anymore . Just normal cock it and shoot .. no big deal ..

Pretty sweet. I could see that making a great snake killer around the yard.
