Kill a duck with a pellet rifle?

Updated: 9/28/2023

Yes you can kill a duck with a pellet rifle, but it depends on the model and where you shoot the duck. Cheap pellet rifles under $100 usually are not powerful enough to put the duck down without it suffering. A good pellet rifle $150 or more will be sufficient. Also I suggest you use hunting pellets (Hollowpoint) they will be the most effective. A head shot is the best place to put it down quickly. Also it may require a license to shoot the Duck depending on where you live.

The Daisy is a low powered BB rifle. It is capable of killing a duck but the animal will suffer before death. It is best to use a pellet rifle not a BB rifle.
