Oughta work well on the yard vermin.

I had one when I was a kid.Awesome shooter.Found out if I pumped it up 20 times I could drill a hole clear thru a starling.Don't do it.....I did it one too many times and ruined the gun That does not sound like a very good gun to me. The cheap bb guns we had in the 80s would go through a tin roof with no problem. We had to power down to shoot inside the barns. A starling would be penetrated with just 3-4 pumps.

Yep 8 pumps and the pellet will go through a rabbit at 45 yards and I could hear the pellet hit the barn on the other side with my 5mm Sheridan. It would not shoot through squirrels . Always stopped just under the skin on the opposite side. But with the steroid kit I had put in and the heavier pellets that are offered it will easily shoot through them now.

remember to oil it every 6 months or 1000 pellets which ever comes first and store it with one pump on it to keep the seals good.
they don't seem to dry out and shrink with 1 pump on them like when left with no air under pressure
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
