It is possible, but, highly unlikely as it would either require miraculous shot placement or a rifle and pellet with very specific, high end ballistic capabilities. Most larger caliber pellets that are used for hunting large game in some areas have a muzzle velocity in the range of 650-1000fps. Pretty much all pellets at 1200 will be unstable at range because the drop from supersonic speeds will destabilize it. Any pellets that you can get in the 1400fps+ range are likely to be .177 and not have the power or wound channel to drop an adult deer save a freak lucky shot.

No! And for those that think the bear will ignore it I'll just say this. If you are OUT OF YOUR MIND and use a pellet gun then the bear WILL NOT, I REPEAT, WILL NOT IGNORE IT! IT WILL ATTACK! Therfore the only out come is it will charge you while you are reloading your precious single-shot pellet gun and will have you for supper.

Is a 600 fps .177 pellet gun good enough to kill a rabbit?
It's not the fps that kills, but the shape of the pellet that will do the job. All the pellet shapes will kill the rabbit, but hollow point pellets will mushroom on impact and make a clean kill. other pellets might travel right through the rabbit and it will hop off and die later

What is fps in bb guns?
FPS stands for Feet Per Second. This is how fast the manufacture rates to BB or pellet as it comes out of the barrel. A slow FPS is around 250 FPS a very fast FPS is around 1200 FPS a few rifles can attain over 1500 FPS. Airsoft guns rarely get above 500 FPS because the projectile is so large.
