RE: Killing a Squirrel : BB or Pellet Gun?
My personal favorite is a howitzer, followed by naval gunfire........
I have killed many of squirrels with both, very effectively, though Pellets are most likely goingto work better since there are many out there specifically for hunting. Hollow points and such. |

Hollow points and such. well by personal experience, the pellet gun would be more accurate, the bb gun will still be accurate but at shorter ranges unless lead bb's (if they exist) are used, this basicly comes down to the rifling on the gun where lead pellets and bb's will becom rifled, steel bb's will not be effected by the rifling on the gun due to their size. choice is yours man, may i ask if it will be a sping-piston, pump up, or pcp pellet/bb gun? |

I've had some heroic squirrelsgo pretty farafter being shot point blank in the chest with a BB gun. Nothing like having your neighbors watch as a mortally wounded squirrel half runs half crawls across the street bleeding everywhere.
I never thought I'd have to consider something "not enough gun" for a squirrel but I'd go with pellets. .22 short is what I use now. |

I prefer my 12 gauge number 8's or .22 LR. My .270 also works... ;)

A BB gun is more effective against Squirrels. I use to shoot my pellet gun at Squirrels all the time and it just bounced right off them. A BB gun is more powerful, use that.

Oh. Mine was some cheap M-16 model pellet gun. Not that strong. i never owned a powerful pellet gun, and I don't really hunt with my rifle pellet gun, i bowhunt.
