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.

Can a daisy red ryder kill a duck in 1 shot?

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. I also suggest using hollow point pellets for Hunting. Pellet deform when they hit a target and make a clean kill. BB do not deform and are a poor hunting weapon. A head shot is best. You may also need a license to hunt ducks is some countries.


Will a pellet gun kill a you?

Yes it is possible. An air soft gun will not kill you but a pellet rifle is capable if killing a person. Pellet rifles come in several calibers. .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 45 cal and 50 cal. The last 3 calibers are fired from a PCP pellet rifle. This rifle (PCP) uses a scuba tank to charge the rifle with 3000 psi of air. All of these pellets are capable of injury or death.

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