Is it powerful enough to kill skunks?
64251
Not in stock form. will kill crickets if you can hit them. But they are easy to convert to shoot real 22 cal rimfire ammo.Disassemble,.. Remove piston seal, mount firing pin to piston, shorten spring, bore the barrel and reassemble. KABOOM, you can kill a bunch of skunks far away. Its all perfectly legal as long as you don't as you don't sell it after you built it.

I think it would kill a skunk if you are about 10 feet away and hit it in the head. I don't think a body shot would kill it.

hmmm no you would do better to get the [ http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Benjamin_HB22/233 or http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Benjamin_Marauder_PCP_Air_Pistol/2367 ] or the [ New Air Pellet Rifle Gun B3 5.5mm 22 Caliber Real Wood The answer is yes, if your willing to get within 5-10 feet of a skunk. Its not worth it. you want another couple hundred FPS on a .22 pellet. I am sure this gun isn't rated at more the 10 -12 FPE which you can convert to joules if you know what your doing.

No, you can see the pellet going through the air. Maybe 300 fps. Just for punching paper. If you can catch the skunk you could beat it's brains out with it. The front sight is really sharp. LATER, Tim, Savannah, Ga.I've got two of these air pistols now, one .22 the other .177. With a chrony, .177 ten shot average 316.09 fps., .22 average 240.1 fps.At 20 meters from a bench rest the .177 hit about 4" high, 3 out of 5 shot grouped about the size of a cat food can. The .22 hit 2" low/3" left, 4 out of 5 shot grouped a 1/2" bigger than a cat food can. Not bad for a $25-$35 pellet pistol. No, you can see the pellet going through the air. Maybe 300 fps.

NO! This pistol only makes around 2 foot pounds of muzzle energy. Minimum recommended energy for hunting squirrels and small pests is at least 12. If you were to shoot a skunk with this, all you would do is wound it and make it angry. If you're wanting to take down a skunk, get some thing in at least a .22 caliber that shoots at least 750 fps. That will put you at around 18 foot pounds which with a good head shot will easily take a skunk.

No ! I don't think this could hurt a fly at 5 yards. You need to buy a Benjamin 392. This rifle is a .22 cal air rifle with enough power to take rabbits, woodchuck etc.The air pistol referenced is not very powerful.

The pistol is a "spring" pellet pistol. The pellet speed of the .177 is much faster than the .22.I believe that at a close range the .177 with a good shot, could take down a skunk.

Pumped ten times maximum, and hitting the head at close range, probably yes! But body shots will only wound slightly without killing! After a few body shots the squirrels high tail it for the trees when you appear at the door!!

Not sure about the skunk but Definitely I will give a try. Use it fresh, and if it's possible used with the vacuum . Give it 20 minutes and try again you will know if it works in the next hour. Since does not stain use the entire bottle. For the price I will use it

Yes, it will. It is designed to kill just about any living tree, shrub or plant. Be careful.

Not sure about skunk...but i think cat pee smells almost that bad and it works GREAT on that...getting ready to place my second order..

It is very powerful and I have had several. I have used it to suck up acorns. I am sure it will. Great value.

It didn't work for skunks. It attracts cats like crazy! Don't know about raccoons, but I doubt it.

yes. but a lighter pellet would be better. the lethal is 5.56 grams. there faster and louder in my big cat 1400. I have better groups with them, and the penetration is unbalievable.

Yes I have. This produce is the best. I also use it in my garden and i don't have anything eat on my plants any more. I told all my neighbors cause we have skunks bad here and yes it keeps them away. I am speaking for my neighbors as well. You need to try it. Love it here in West Virginia

The odor is Fox urine. Skunks aren't afraid of foxes - wary, but not afraid. So it probably wouldn't work. Suggest High frequency sonic units. Best with electric cord - it's very long, but also come w batteries. Large yard will need 2 or 3.

I am sorry, I have not tried this for skunks. You might want to contact your state's extension service to get their advice about whether this device would cause skunks to spray or just make them run away. A pest exterminator might also have some ideas about how a skunk would react.

I have not tried it for this skunk, but the labeling indicates that it does work for skunk odor. It is an organic enzyme that will not harm your pet, and it certainly works well for other organic odors, so I would give it a try.

It might work on skunks. I've seen it detect a cat at close range. Generally, the smaller and slower the animal is, the less likely it will be detected. Thick fur and high ambient temperature are other factors that limit thermal detection. Works very well on people and deer, but not very well on cats.

No it's way to weak. For that bu need a CO2 hang gun or pump.some thing bigger more power is better like crosmen optomos it will take out any little critter

No, it's very powerful. I think you need to use "weed be gone" if you don't want to kill any grass.

You just sprinkle it. It helped slightly with the skunk. It didn't deter the rabbits. It also has to be re-applied every few days and after it rains.

I would think that you would need a more powerful weapon to kill gophers and doubt that the P17 has that power unless you are close and hit a vital area.
