For the rest, get a ‘pumper’ type, (Benjamin Sheridan, etc.
or some Crossmans).
The ‘springer’ types, (most break barrels), offer more
power, but are hard to shoot accurately, and you’re trying
to hit very small targets.
(That spring ‘jumps’ the gun before the pellet leaves
the barrel.)

Get one that shoots 1000 ft/s. It will be more accurate and have the power to do the job. Some pump up to max power and some are not. I like the one that you don’t pump up. When you **** it it is at max power.

Look for a model with a .22 caliber pellet and at least 950 fps or better yet, 1,000 fps. Maybe something in .25 caliber with a velocity of at least 800 fps. For example:
forget anything in .177 caliber
