BTW, as a kid I had a simple test to determine if my BB and pellet rifles were strong enough to kill birds up to about pigeon size.
If the BB would penetrate the side of a bean can it would kill a bird. It did not have to go all the way through both sides, just one.
If it would go through both sides it would kill a squirrel.
I latter discovered that the heavier sides of a 5 gallon metal paint bucket was a good test of rabbit killing capabilities. I had to step up to pneumatic pump up rifles in .22 to get through the bigger cans and kill rabbits.
That is not a real scientific analysis but I found it to be consistently true.
When the weather turns this spring I might just go out back and spend an afternoon testing all the BB guns and air rifles over the chrono.
