Default Small Game Hunting......Which Air Pistol???

Hey guys me and a few buddies are going small game hunting in PA and wondering through the woods. I'm getting my license in a week or two but i'm looking for a CO2 Pistol with good power cause I don't like those big rifles.

Which brands do you suggest? I'm leaning toward Gamo PX 107 to be exact.

Looking for a .177 caliber, 400+ fps and CO2 cartridge to load with ammo . The ones that attach at the bottom are kinda stupid looking. Thanks

My friend said 400 and more should be enough, and there's these special bb's that increase the spead by like 20%.....The guys i'm going with both have a pistol and a rifle, I might get both too just for the heck of it. The rifle i'll get will be like 1000 fps.

I tell you what though once you get them down and can nail your target from 50 feet or so it is exhilirating. Also depends on what you use on the darts, there are a lot of options but some are dangerous and absorb into the system poisoning any meat that may be had.

Best bet is to use one that affects the motor response this way the animal is still alive when it drops and you just knife it's neck to finish it off.

I used to try to get squirrels in my backyard with one I got off ebay for $50 but never got good enough at it h: Got one in the tail once and he flipped out, that was the closest I got.
