Even though the velocity of an airgun pellet can be similar to a 22LR the projectile mass is only about a quarter as much as the typical 35-40 grain 22 bullet. For an equal velocity this means the muzzle energy is also a quarter as much. Factor in the extremely poor sectional density and ballistic coefficient of an airgun pellet and you have a projectile that sheds velocity quickly and penetrates poorly compared to a bullet. In my opinion it would be highly unethical to shoot a coon with an airgun - why wound a creature when the likelihood of a humane, fatal hit is extremely slim. Being that I've never tried it I would venture to guess that the only way to kill one with an airgun would be a precise, close range head shot. These animals are tough - even a solid body shot from a 22LR high-velocity hollowpoint often requires a follow-up to finish things off. I can't imagine trying to take one with an airgun. (Not including, of course, the likes of the 46 caliber Lewis and Clark airgun that oldfarmtractor mentioned!)

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
