I'm certainly no lover of rats, but will an air rifle kill them or just injure them. From what little I know about them an injured rat can also be dangerous as it may not be able to run away, so will possibly turn on you if you happen to get close without seeing it on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother had problems with mice. He bought a pretty powerful 'toy' pellet gun. It shot plastic pellets and killed the mice. It'd have to be a head shot, though, to take out a rat, I suspect.
*imagines Mr.P. sat on a fishing stool, camflage hat, mirrored aviator sun glasses, white vest, and combats. He's chewing on a matchstick, muttering under his breath, a carbine across his lap........*
how about a catapult instead? easier to hide when plod comes knocking at the door and ammo's cheap, just nick a few handfuls of red chippings from a neighbour's drive. Load up 4 or 5 stones for the 'shotgun' effect, not that I've ever tried it myself of course.
