does anyone know how powerful this pistol is?

 

 

In ft/lbs?

Its approximately 1.2-1.5

 

Dont even think about hunting with it (although 'dry-firing' they are good for taking out flies at almost 4 inches, wasps even better but they dont half make a mess!)

 

If your into shooting Co2 Pistols why not join us at : www.umarexboysclub.co.uk

 

and our own dedicated forum for air and co2 pistol (and my occasional hunting story) shooters is http://umarexboysclubforum.myfineforum.org/index.php

 

 

Take care

sorry fo hijacking your post bluemink but what pistols are suitable for close range hunting and dispatching squirrels in traps. it needs to be quite cheap as well. i was thinking of buying a crosman pump pistol or an old sprin powered weirhauch pistol?

Aaron,

Sheridan EB22 (co2 pistol) is ideal for caged vermin I would only use the larger calibre such as .22 though.

Other pistols for same include HW45 (but were talking money there), an old Webley Tempest.

 

Both the EB22 or the HW45 are running very close to the limit power-wise.
