So, most airguns have less power than a 22LR. I have always believed that more is better than less when hunting animals, even vermin. If I find I need to shoot a small mammal, i.e. woodchuck, skunk, possum, etc, at anything over 50 - 60 yds, I prefer a 22LR or 22 mag. Birds are much easier to kill and I would extend that range out to 100 yds with an airgun. You put a suppressor on a 22lr, and the noise is very similar to a suppressed airgun, plus is has better long range accuracy and power. A 22LR rifle even when purchasing a suppressor is still much less than the top airguns.
There is no way you can compare the nervous system of a mammal to an insect. Mammals feel pain and suffering and it is our duty to dispatch them as humanely as possible.
