Could these be used for small game like rabbits, squirrels, and large birds? Why or why not?

They work well for chipmunks and squirrels and with modification work great to keep away deer and prowlers: https://youtu.be/MqUv3dzBdN8

A small opossum got caught in one. He was injured but not dead. I let him go but he didn't make it. I would conclude that these are not strong enough for a bigger animal.

These are best for target shooting. A hollow point pellet would be better for small game.

I would ask the manufacturer. It works great on gophers but I've never tried on squirrels. Sorry

Absolutely. We purchased so we could feed the squirrels. Not sure of size though and too dark to measure now.

I think so - as long as the game area isn't too big. They are very soft and wouldn't hurt anyone, but not really heavy enough to fly across an entire gymnasium...

Karen, I responded that a rodent could chew through this but to further answer you question I don't know that rabbits have the reputation that squirrels or mice have.

You could use it for archery. You'd have to be pretty good with the bow, though, as the targets are not that big; smaller than regular clay pigeons.

Have not used it for rabbits but I believe it would work very well. The pellets are hard, ceramic like, so they will hold up well to the more acidic urine from the bunnies. I think it would be a good, sanitary choice.

This rifle works very well on squirrels and small possum, I guess it would depend on how big the groundhog is. For a small one (5 lbs or less) I would say yes. Anything bigger, You may be better off just trapping and relocating them. It would be cruel to have to shoot it 10 times to kill it.

Yes for the rabbits but for bigger animals like deer you should need a stronger unite.

Yes, they can work on any animal of that size, but, only if they work. I bought (in total) close to 20, and only around 1/3 of them were functional such that you could set them up properly.

Probably! Depends if the squirrels like music or not! It might also scare the birds,

I would think that they would protect from rabbits. I am using them to protect my trees from deer and they have worked very well. Good luck!

If they are small it would be fine.it would be ok for 2 med rabbits if you took them out and exercise them.

I've used standards (work best) thru a range of sporting clay sizes down to mini's. You have to set the small ones more carefully. Couldn't get it to toss rabbits however.

I am sure it could. It is very powerful, but why would you want to shoot small birds? We use ours to shoot tin cans and balloons.

My husband said it is unlikely a rabbit or a squirrel would hold still long enough but if a squirrel was in a tree u could range the tree to get an idea or a bush or something for a rabbit.
