Nah not disproved, it is after all a full power sub 12ft/lb air rifle. Any air rifle of the appropriate power can kill vermin. That was never in question. Still think it handles and feels like a bag of bolts. Good shooting though. As a sport and hobby I not only want a rifle that is powerful enough but one that is pleasing to the eye and feels and performs well.
It has a market for a starter rifle or someone wanting to plink in the garden, can't knock that.
Good shooting though. Interesting that the pellet hardly deformed.
