yeah ammo makes a big difference. ive shot a Gamo. thsoe are pretty good

see how much an exterminator would cost you.
see how much traps cost you
see how much the guns cost
then what one do you want to pay for?

if you dont want to kill the bastards then i recommend an Air Soft gun, although if you get a gas powered mauser you would kill the lil fucks, and have fun too. 8)

Considering the gun laws in the UK, he'd probably have to go through a bunch of paperwork before buying one. Also, if it's anything like it is here, it's illegal to fire within city limits. A BB gun techinically is as well, but if you have a fenced in yard, who's gonna know? Whereas, the whole neighborhood will know if you are shooting a .22! LOL

Don't use BB's, they don't go straight. Make sure to get some good pellets.

I've used those laser scopes, pretty worthless IMO. You just need to practice.

Also, make sure to hit a vital area of whatever you want to die. (head, heart) Growing up where I did (read: middle of nowhere), I've shot all kinds of critters, more often than not, you'll just make it run away!

Yep I have a fenced in lawn of an acre or so and there are just empty fields beyond that.... with no neighbours to speak of plus with the silencer I should be ok with a bit of luck...

I am not really into killing things that are doing me no harm and I have put up with my current pigeon problem for a good few months now...however it has now gone beyond a joke with about 30 of them (and increasing weekly) shitting over everything (inc my cars) and its taking hours to clean up the mess every weekend...plus they keep waking me up at like 5am by walking across my roof....it might not sound serious...but it has really started to piss me off big time....I can co-exsist with say 12 but I am slowly being taken over by the damn things...

I think the gun is sadly the only way to go for them...as I could only think of poison as an alternative..and I don't want to harm the other birds and animals in the garden that are doing no harm....

Yep...gonna try some of these :

Crosman Verminpell : The .22 Verminpell is the no.1 choice for close range humane pest control, where maximum energy on impact and restricted penetration is a necessity.

Well with some luck it should be here tommorow so I might be able to post a small review and a short video of the first pigeon meeting its maker...LOL

LMAO!! Pigeons: the most useless bird on the face of the planet :P

You should take a tail fether from each bird shot as a trophy :D Or display the corpse on the roof as a warning to others :lol:

Pigeon pie - :)

Jabba's Home Made Pigeon Pie.

I like the sound of that - I may not like the taste though.... ;)

You might be able to do a deal with your local kebab shop Jabba :wink:

Good to hear you're a realist! :D to many people these days say such things are cruel, yada yada yada, but they are a pest causing you trouble so why should you be all nice and put up with them! Happy hunting :D definately far preferable to other methods looks like a mean gun too :D

:lol: Well they are flying rats so i guess they'd qualify :P

what you guys never ate "Rock dove"?
enjoy it Jabba :D

Sadly I have been a vegetarian for the last 30 years....to be honest I cant help feeling sorry for them...but I cant exactly write them a letter saying what is going to happen unless they find a new home...hopefully once a few have been killed the rest will take the hint....

are you kidding??? :shock:
so your parents raised you being a vegetarian??

and what a beauty of the co2 rifle 8) we'll wait the first tests

No not really...I just kinda went off it at a young age...and never felt the desire to start eating it again...couldnt give a shit about the animals though....just I choose not to eat it....
