I dont know what kind of pellet gun I have but it shoots 1000fps which is PLENTY!!! For simple squirrels you dont need more than 500fps I'd say. I used to have a hard plastic pellet gun that shot around 400fps and it finished off squirrels no problem. If your not serious about air guns, then get something cheap for under 80$. Theres no need to spend 200+ bucks on a gun that you hardly use.

When it comes to pellet choice remember this, for guns that shoot slower, say under 600fps then get flat nosed pellets. They dont shoot fast but they deliver a punch. With guns like 1000fps, get pointed hunting pellets because they'll fly straighter and be more accurate.

I've hunted alot with pellet guns, if you have any questions just shoot me a pm.
