Yes But I recommend that you use Hunting Pellets (hollow point) to make a clean kill. BB's make a poor kill and the rodent will suffer before death

Definantly.. as for from how far away I'm not sure, but with 10 pumps you should be sitting right at about 700fps? I could be wrong, but even 500 would be enough with a pellet to down a woodchuck from a short distance.

What can air rifles kill?

Is all depends on the model and the size of the pellet. Most air rifles are used for rodent control. BB guns & rifles are designed for plinking and target practice. Pellet rifles are a better choice for rodent control. However, Pellet rifles are made in different calibers. Starting with .177 (the most common) .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 45 Cal and 50 Caliber. The last 4 sizes usually fall into the PCP (Per Charged Pneumatic) air rifles that require 3000 psi to fire them and are capable of bringing down a bear or deer. These rifles start around $500 and up. Olympic "Match" air rifles usually cost around $3000 to $5000. A .177 caliber rifle can kill birds, squirrels and rodents. When using them for rodent control I suggest "Hollowpoint" pellets. They deform on impact and make a clean kill.


What would be an ideal fps for a pellet gun if you wanted to shoot birds chipmunks etc?

It's not so much the FPS, anything above 500 FPS is fine, it's the size of the pellet and knockdown power that you are looking for. Pellets come in different shapes. I would use a hollow point pellet. It's a cross between a flat and BB pellet. They are made by Gamo, I believe. Or I would not use 177 pellets for hunting but 20 or 22 caliber pellets. They are a bit slower in FPS than 177 but have greater knock down power and a cleaner kill. Remember the gun must be made for 20 or 22 caliber if this is what you want. I have shot rabbits with a 177 pointed pellet at 1000 FPS and it went right through him. He hopped away and died. The pellet didn't hit anything it just went through him.

What is the most powerful BB gun?

If you are asking about airguns in general not just BB guns, but Pellet guns also. The family of PCP air guns. (Precharged Pneumatic Guns (PCPs) these use a scuba tank to charge the rifle. They can shoot up to a 50 cal bullet and bring down a Moose. As for BB guns alone most will fall into the under 500 feet per second group. Where Pellet rifles can exceed 1000 feet per second. BB guns/rifles are not as accurate as pellet guns/rifles. Because BB guns use a smooth boar barrel where pellet guns use rifling in the barrel.
