Is a Red Ryder good for small game hunting?

You can go on a backyard safari** with one but the Daisy Red Ryder is not designed for hunting*, it's a plinker.





**Bug busting





*The Daisy Red Ryder on has a MV of 280fps - They will barely dent an aluminum pop can at 15ft.

for info on hunting with airgunsIs a Red Ryder good for small game hunting?
if it will kill and you can hit whith it ????da!Is a Red Ryder good for small game hunting?
Red Ryder is a BB gun. Unless you are standing right on top of your target and it's small, you will just cause the game un-necessary pain. Go to a sporting goods store, tell the clerk what you want to hunt and let him suggest a rifle.
Only thing I would say it would be good for ';hunting'; would be mice or rats in a barn or something like that where you were shooting at somthing very small and very close.
NO.





It is great for buffalo and elephant, as long as the range is at least 500 miles (as a kid, I shot them by the thousands). And it is fine for shooting down Messerschmidts and Zeros, but the F-15 is just too fast. It also makes a pretty decent anti-tank rifle for Panzers and Tiger II tanks, but it will just annoy an M-1 Abrams and draw return fire.





But for birds, squirrels and rabbits, it just lacks the OOOMPH to do a good job. It does well on bumble bees and butterflys if your eye is up for the target.





Doc
nope
no 20 years ago we played tag with them
Not in a million years. You'll be lucky to kill a tin can with one.
NO, they dont shoot hard enough. They suck for small game. They are fun to plink with though.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO they go slower than a airsoft gun.





good luck
BB guns, aren't designed as hunting weapons
The only thing you can kill with a Red Ryder BB gun is a Ritz Cracker..lol They just don't have anywhere near the power to kill anything, but they will cause pain and suffering for any animal or bird shot with one.BAD IDEA
No. You'll shoot your eye out.
