Can a 1000 fps air rifle kill a pig?
It's not the speed of the pellet it's the size and the type of the pellet. Yes a .177 caliber pellet can kill a pig but it most likely would take several shots, depending on where you hit it. Also "Hunting or hollow point pellets" should be used. A head or heart shot is best. I suggest At least a 25 caliber pellet should be used. If you can afford a a good hunting pellet rifle then I suggest a .25 cal Marauder, a 357 Rogue or a .50 cal Sam Yang. But these are expensive and have devistating power because they at PCP class rifles. (PreCharged Pneumatic) There are a few .25 cal springers or Nitro gas like the "Benjamin trail NP XL" that are a better choice than a .177 cal pellet rifle. .177 usually are not recommended for hunting anything larger than a rodent.

What is the velocity needed to kill a turkey with a body shot from an air gun?
It has nothing to do with velocity. It has more to do with the size, weight and shape of the pellet. I recommend a .25 Cal or larger pellet. (Yes Pellet rifles come in different sizes) The smallest to the largest are .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 357 cal, 45 Cal, and 50 Cal. I also recommend using hunting (hollowpoint) pellets. The heaver the better the knock-down power. (Pellets come in different weights.) Also check to see if your location allows hunting with a pellet gun.

Is the Benjamin Marauder 22 more accurate than a 25 cal?
Somewhat. The .25 cal is just bigger and hits harder. Other than shape and air pressure behind the pellet, the size and weight of the pellet has a effect on the accuracy. OKAY look at it this way. (Pellets come in different weights.) a lightweight pellet will fly faster and farther than a heavy pellet. BUT it is more effected by crosswind than a heavy weight pellet. The Heavy pellet will fly straighter, slower and have more knockdown power than a lighter pellet. So a .25 cal pellet is heaver and slower than a .22 cal pellet but it has more impact and a little more accurate than a .22 cal pellet. PCP rifles come in different sizes. like .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, .357 cal 45 cal and 50 cal. Hitting a target with a .177 cal is like hitting it with a BB, but hit it with a 50 cal and you rip a huge hole in the target. The .177 will fly a lot farther but the 50 cal is a destroyer. I own both a .22 cal and a .25 cal Marauder. along with several others.
