RE: newb looking for some air rifle advice

More advice from experienced air gun hunters please:

I have the chance to pick up a 22 with muzzle velocity slightly greater than 900fps, that's about 50 greater than any other 22 I've seen publicised here.

Setting aside the legality of this gun, is its power an advantage or a disadvantage in my intended use for pest control and hunting game up to the size of rabbits?

My thinking is that its an advantage: heavier pellet, moving faster delivers more energy = better dropping power and ability to kill at greater range.

What advice?
