if you have an airgun for targets could you shoot birds with it?

I love to shoot starlings and house sparrows with mine. They are both introduced species and a plegue on other birds. If we had a government had half a backbone they would eliminate them all by putting a $1.00 a head on each one. And I would become a millionare within a year.

I know what you're trying to do.  You're not the first one to try it.  Pellet guns were designed to shoot with a certain amount of pressure from the co2 canister, now all of a sudden you're putting a helium in there.  It will break your airsoft gun's bolt lugs.\n\nRead this.\nhttp://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/message/1113147751/NO!

The way your question is worded, there is absolutely no reason why not.  A bullet is a solid object.  A snake is a solid object.  Whether the snake is on land or in water, a bullet that has been shot from a gun has the potential to hit it.  The only reason bullet could not hit something (assuming it's close enough) is if the object were not a solid object or if there is something in the way to stop the bullet from hitting.\n\nA lot of snakes swim on the very top of water (I'm curious to know if there are any that are capable of swimming underwater).  Therefore, what is to stop a bullet from hitting it?  Perhaps you mean hit is the penetrate sense.  Perhaps you are thinking that even if the snake were "hit" with the bullet, the bullet would just push the snake into the water instead of going through it.  Or maybe you are thinking of the snake as underneath the water.  In that case, perhaps the water would slow the bullet down so much that it wouldn't hit.  That is definitely true if the snake is in deep water and you are shooting from the surface.

I doubt it, if it were a baby boar and the hawk was of the largest species then it's possible I guess.  Eagles dive at mountain goats to try and make them fall off cliffs so Hwks could try that I suppose, although I don't imagine you'd find many wild boar on cliffs!

Cool idea.  We always just do head shots on human targets.  You could try printing this one out: http://www.dar.net/~ferrous/zz/ZSTARGET2.pdf

Birds have ears, however they do not stick out like ours. Birds will die anywhere. If they all went somewhere special there would be an enormous pile of dead birds somewhere and I have not yet heard of "Dead Bird Mountain".

What are you stupid???\n\nFlies bird all of the time.\n\nGet yourself a time lapse photography setup with a high powered magnifying lense, and then find a fly to kill.\n\nGet your fly swatter, and set your camera to start shooting.\n\nSee if that fly, just before you squash it, doesn't bird you.\n\nHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!\n\nThanks 509QZK

Not unless it's really inflated, and as that only happens when the animal is emitting its sounds (i.e. relaxed and in its natural habitat), you would just puncture it and nothing special would happen. \nThe walls of the vocal sac are really tough and elastic, so it wouldn't be easy.\nAnd why would anyone want to do such a thing?

Yes, as long as the primer and the powder on the inside of the bullet doesn't get wet.  If the projectile is properly set in the casing, then water can't get inside and the bullet will still fire.

You can swap them with your palm or let them fly outside or find their nest and destroy it, if possible. At least, that is what I did, and would do.

MacGyver would know for sure!  I'm thinking you can make a slingshot with those items.

well you must mean bb gun. first off if you consider it playing you shouldnt even have one. and as far as the state law in illinois when i worked at a gun shop if it had a velocity of 700fps or more it had to be sold as a firearm with the same paperwork and background check as any firearm. state laws will vary though. dont consider it playing though. even a low powered air gun is capable of putting some ones eye out.

Getting "Peppered" with bird shot while hunting is not all that uncommon an occurence. It happens. Most everyone who hunts birds will tell you that. Nothing would happen, it is an accident.\n\nThe uber-libs and the liberal media are blowing this completely out of proportion.

why you want to kill any animal or bird for fun, it`s different if you have to kill for food, but a defenceless creature doing you no harm, i really hope that some day,  someone puts you  under fire and you get to experience the `THRILL` from being hit. you sick B*****d

that would depend on the firing speed.

I doubt he is on crack just for that answer. \n\nBB guns can be quite powerful. The first described is a pistol, the second a rifle. As you can see, safety is a prime concern when using a BB gun. People have been killed and seriously injured because of them. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has reports of about 4 deaths per year caused by BB guns or pellet rifles.\n\nThe Daisy Airgun Pellet BB Pistol 617x Air Pistol .177 cal BB 485 fps Pellet 425 distance is 280 yards with a maximum muzzle velocity of 485fps from a rifled steel barrel\n\nThe Remington Genesis Air Rifle pounds shoots the BB at a speed of 1,000 feet-per-second with extreme precision. The distance can be quite far.
