Puncture the femoral artery, bleed to death- pretty quickly. Fool around and fail to get medical treatment, get infected- may not kill you- just require amputation of your leg. GO SEE THE DOCTOR and get it treated!
Yes
Yes BUT I suggest you kill it with a head shot using match or hollow point pellets. If you don't kill it with the first shot it may spray you.
Steel shot is generally lighter than lead shot. For example, a steel shot pellet typically weighs about 30% less than a lead pellet of the same size due to the difference in density between the two materials. This means that to achieve similar ballistic performance, a larger quantity of steel shot is often needed compared to lead shot. Thus, when using steel shot, hunters may opt for a larger size to compensate for the weight difference and maintain effective range and penetration.
Yes, in a matter of fact, I shot THROUGH it!
A head shot with hollow point pellets would be best.
I can't tell you the law on shooting domestic animals, but yes it is possible to kill a cat with a .177 provided you do a head shot.
Pellet guns shoot lead pellets. The advantage of a lead pellet is that it is heavy, and can be shaped into an aerodynamic cone shape that cuts through the air. They are also more responsive to the rifling inside the barrel and spin as they fly. Pellet guns are actually quite different (and much more accurate) than bb guns. You can actually kill small animals with a pellet gun so if you are looking for something that's more of a toy you might want to get an airsoft gun. Those shoot plastic bb's and are non-lethal.
No. Pellet guns can inflict real injury, and can even kill. They should be used only where proper safety precautions are in place, as with more powerful firearms.
It is possible, Yes, But it depends on the caliber, Weight of the pellet, the FPS of the gun. I suggest using a Pellet rifle not a pellet gun. I suggest a head shot using hollow point pellets. Also a license may be required to hunt the goose

Not outright, but if the birds are shot with lead pellets the predatory birds can get lead poisoning.
Yes
