What is one of the best Air Rifles overall?
At the moment I’m trading for air rifle, and what I really want is power. I like the Drozd, b / c of his semi-automatic options, but this weapon will be used mainly for hunting small game. It can not be sudden. Also, would a small DROZD kill vermin? I know its 360FPS, but it can tir.Quel 6 sprays is the most lethal air rifle overall repeated there, period. It can not be only time it should be able to repeat (semi or full). It will be used for hunting, so I need to know which will reduce the fastest animals.

well id rather do 1 shot over all that and trust me i went hunting with my agm sniper with .2 gram and it worked pretty well with a little bit of aim
In one word NO.
If you don’t have the muzzle velocity of at least 900 fps you need to forget about hunting rabbits and squirrels and stick to small sparrows and mice.
It don’t matter how fast it fires, if it is not able to give a one shot humane kill.
I would recommend a Gamo single shot at 1000 to 1200 fps and it can kill a small game with one shot kills, for that is what I use around my yards to control rabbits and squirrels.
It’s not how fast you can shoot the next pellet, it’s how accurate you can shoot the first pellet.
360 fps is for mice and sparrows or target shooting or plinking, not for any true form of hunting.

The DROZD is a BB gun, not something you would want to hunt with, and BB gun firing at 360FPS no less. You need a pellet rifle in at least .177 that fires at least 1000 FPS to be a good and humane hunting airgun. Now most of these will be single shot break barrel rifles. You just cannot have a semi-auto air rifle that will be effective for hunting small game. The limited power source (Co2, Green Gas, air reservoir, etc.) can’t maintain a strong enough velocity and power after multiple shots. Semi-Automatic airguns are fun for cans and paper, especially the DROZD. But for hunting I would only suggest a single shot,1000+FPS. Anything less is just cruel.
Every automatic airgun I have seen were all BB, you CANNOT hunt anything other than small mice with a BB gun. The little BB does not have the mass (key component to power) to kill. A BB can only injure and maim, don’t one to shoot animals. You seem content on getting a semi-auto air rifle and hunting with it. But that is just not possible. If you plan on hunting get a 1000+FPS pellet rifle. Don’t shoot animals with BBs, ever. I don’t even use semi-autos for my real hunting rifle. If you can’t hit your target cleanly in one shot, you shouldn’t be hunting at all.
“If you don’t have a MV of at least 900fps you need to forget about hunting rabbits & squirrels” > That’s NOT true
6ft/lbs is more than enough for rabbit/squirrel – You will often see 8ft/lbs recommended, that’s fine, but not necessary with proper hunting pellets.
I have a FWB 124D .177(MV – 850fps) 13.2ft/lbs – I take rabbits out to 35-40 yards all the time(100′s of them in the 20+ years I have owned this rifle) – Just as a test, I put three steel cans one inside of the other with sand in the middle. At 40 yards the .177 RWS Superpoints penetrated all three steel cans and ended up in the sand.
The best value air rifle is a RWS model 34
http://www.gunbroker.com >$184 for the rifle/scope combo
“lifetime warranty” on this one.
Another good one is the Beeman SS1000T , with this one you actually get 2 rifles in one, a .177 & .22 – the combo comes with, rifle/scope/& 2 barrels >$164 on gunbroker
If you want a lot more power try the RWS 460 Magnum .177(1350fps) & .22(1150fps) – around $530
Just for your info
.177 – 8.2gr (1000fps) =18.2ft/lbs
. 22 – 14.5gr (800fps) = 20.6ft/lbs
I prefer the .177, greater velocity=flat trajectory=greater accuracy. At about 35yds things begin to even out, at greater ranges the .22 does have an advantage(this would be comparing a 1000fps .177 to a 800fps .22) The thing is, I have found that the vast majority of my shots are under 35yds.

The DROZD is junk I’ve shot one and you can see the bb’s come out of the barrel. It’s the most inaccurate thing I’ve ever fired. If you are five feet away it might kill something. After the first shot or two it gets really weak.
Cardsfan55 is a air gunner like myself. If you were to listen
to any advice given here I’d listen to him. The real secret to
varmit killing is SHOT PLACEMENT, not power, although
power is very helpful. 6-12 flbs is more than enough to kill
rabbits, squirrels, crows, etc. I’ve taken rabbits as far as
45 yrds out with a single shot to the head with my HW80.
(Beeman R1) Back then, that rifle was a factory stock rifle.
Since then, the rifle has been tuned by a pro air gun tuner
and now produces 16flbs of power and shoots at 1020 fps
or there about. But you don’t need multiple shots or something
that shoots over 900 fps to kill small animals. Shot placement
is how you make kills, not power. Don’t know where some of
these NON AIR GUNNERS get their info from.

Oh, by the way, stay away from Gamo’s, if the gun breaks
see how long it takes to get a warranty repair done.
