[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1571371, member: 7629"] part of the advantage of shooting an airgun is lower ft lb. my fav, Beeman R-7, shoots a 7.9 gr .177 pellet at 590 fps = 6 ft lb energy. over penetration is always a concern. having a lower power airgun is not a disadvantage. R-7 is also very quiet. one hole rested groups at 10 meters is the normal. big time fun picking off leaves shooting off hand. German Beeman usually comes with a Rekord trigger. one of the finest two stage triggers available. mine is set at 1lb 8oz. 6ft lb energy has just barely enough power to kill a squirrel if you do your part. 6ft lb is plenty for any pest birds like starlings or English house sparrows. non-native pest birds are the only birds one should even consider shooting. Starlings are incredibly hard to shoot. one shot and the entire flock takes off. [/QUOTE]
