If the psi is turned up too high, there's a regulation limit.

In the USA there is no regulation limit. However in Canada and the UK there is. In the US you will find that there is a large selection of PCP air rifles that are charged to 3000 PSI and fire a 50 caliber pellet. These PCP class air rifles are capable of bringing down a Boar and Yes they can kill you. Even the smaller ones can kill you.

PCP=PreCharged Pneumatic

Airsoft air rifles are designed to not kill you and are considered toys but do hurt.

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.
