To each his own. For me though, I like airguns for their low power. If I had a place to hunt with .22lr like power I would own an Anschutz 1710
As I said earlier, it's not a PB vs airgun debate. It's a debate on the advantages of slugs (in PCP) vs pellets vs a rimfire.
Then I am confused by this statement in your original post
"So if you are going to use slugs to hunt why not use a 22LR rimfire? The ammo cost less than airguns slugs. You can get a decent 22LR for $500, add $200 for a certificate for suppressor, add $400 for a decent suppressor so it's cheaper than a high end PCP and offer much more power. I have two 22LRs with suppressors on them and using CCI Standard subsonic 43 gr ammo at 1070 fps I get over 100 FPE and it's just as quiet if not quieter as a PCP. I get 300 rounds for less than $30 and it's effective to 200 yards easily. If you are using a PCP to hunt long distance, you will be dealing with the same issues as a 22LR and the 22 is better than a PCP for this type of hunting"
Low power just use pellets, if you are going to use slugs, a rimfire offer more advantages than slugs in an airgun.
