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 best hunting pellet to use in the RWS 34 Panther in 177?
If you are going to hunt with this rifle I suggest you go with a heavy pellet designed for hunting. Stay away from lightweight pellets like the Gamo Raptors. Raptors are fast but very lightweight and don't have the penetrating power of a good hunting pellet. I suggest something like a Benjamin Discovery hunting pellet that weighs 10.5 grams unlike the Raptor that weighs 5.4 grams. The knockdown power of the Discovery is twice as strong as the Raptor. Also Raptors have a tendency to drift off target in a breeze.

What is the best caliber air gun for shooting birds?
It's not so much the caliber you want, its your selection of pellet design. A .177 is sufficient to hunt birds but I would select a hunting pellet (hollow point) to use in the rifle. Hollow points will deform on impact and make a clean kill. .20 and .22 pellets have a little more knock down power but the .177 will have a slightly further range. On the other side .20 and .22 caliber pellets are slightly slower in (FPS) Feet Per second, they, because of the addition weight of the pellet, will fly straighter in a crosswind then a .177 pellet.
How do you get a pellet that is stuck out of a pellet gun?
Use a .177 cleaning rod and push the pellet back out of the loading port.
What bullet is the best for a 177 pellet gun?
