now, if they are organized, a team of 3 (butt stock, trigger, forearm) can be very effective. more of a squad weapon than an individual issue arm for them.

Yes, as long as it's 1000 fps or greater, and no more than about 30', works well.

Don’t worry, Fuzzball probably doesn’t want to go through the hassle of training new staff

As a younger man I killed about a zillion squirrels with a Crosman 760 Powermaster which I suspect made 600FPS on its best day. Flat point lead pellets and head shots with open sights made misses clean on most occasions.
I did not lose many that were hit that way.

I didn't plink that many, just a few in my back yard causing a ruckus at my previous home. Still have the 1000 fps cheapie, now I just scare off a turkey buzzard or two.

Ever shoot a squirrel with a .17HMR? Turns them into a red mist.

Was thinking about getting one, neat rifles.

My farmer neighbor (since passed) had a .17 he carried in his pickup, nasty looking thing. There wasn't a fox, groundhog, squirrels within miles of our neighborhood.
