> A BB gun should not be shot at anything alive. You will only injure the animal, causing pain and suffering. Speaking as someone who has actually killed a possum with a BB gun, I agree that you should definitely not shoot it in the ass with a single-pump Daisy air pistol. However, a high-end, high-FPS, multi-pump air rifle is fine for taking out an animal that size, as long as you can get a clean head shot. I've actually seen someone kill an adult raccoon with one shot from a 20-caliber pellet gun.
