Killing capability depends on foot pounds of energy (fpe) and fps is a function of fpe along with weight (measured in grains). A .177 caliber pellet traveling at 1000fps does not have as much energy due to its smaller mass, whereas a .25 caliber pellet is larger and can be heavier.
Bottom line:
.177 @ 1000fps will "icepick" a pest, ie. punch a tiny hole through it and if it misses a vital, won't kill it.
.22 @ 1000fps good for pests (rats, squirrels, pigeons) and small game up to raccoons.
.25 @ 1000fps small game including fox, raccoon, coyote

Normally a 600-700 fps air rifle will kill a rabbit at around 30-40 yards away.

Anything about a Winchester air rifle model 416 that was made in Germany?
This rifle is rated for 363 feet per second (FPS). That is slow in today's world where air rifles exceed 1000 FPS. If this rifle was in EXCELLENT condition and I do mean Excellent it would be worth $50. From 1969-75 Meyer & Grammelspacher of Germany made air rifles for Winchester.

I assume that you are asking about a PCP class rifle. It will kill just about anything you can hit. But I would stay away from Elephants and Bears. A head shot is preferred.
