I made a post about this some time ago. My feelings are that slugs in air rifles are nothing but a trending fad and totally unnecessary. My reasons are that you can buy a 22LR, plus certificate and suppressor to shoot bullets for cheaper than airguns. It's easier to get an airgun for pellets plus 22LR for bullets and it's cheaper than buying a high-end PCP configured to shoot slugs.
1. 22LR shooting subsonic bullets offers more range and power (105-110 FPE).
2. 22LR ammo is a lot cheaper than airgun slugs.
3. If the place you are shooting is safe enough to shoot slugs it should be safe to shoot 22LR.
4. Airgun use is for the same small to medium game and pellets are more than capable of killing the same game for a lot cheaper.
5. A suppressed 22LR is just as quiet and sometimes quieter than a powerful PCP.
