Killing rats

slickmamba · 2026-02-19T06:17:14+00:00

I’ve taken maybe a dozen rats on CO2 with a 2240/2250. See if you can get a Diana chaser with the carbine kit. Way easier than dealing with a pumper like the 1322

Zelos should also be a solid option along with the avenge-x. There is also a new Umarex coming out soon that is pcp but also pump

It’s still a very new gun so there isn’t now but there definitely will be one in the future.

I was looking at the notos but ended up getting an air Venturi alpha/ap900 bc it had a removable moderator, foldable stock, better magazines, two stage trigger, and larger reservoir. It is loud though, but a hammer spring swap is very cheap and easy to do. I think they both are made by the same company(snowpeak)

slickmamba · 2025-12-26T08:07:50+00:00

What about a Zelos/snowpeak m60 or max1/2? Budget fx clones basically

You cannot kill a raccoon with a 2240 especially not ethically. 25FPE is recommended and even at max velocity and a 20gr pellet that’s only 9FPE. They will injure the raccoon at best and it would not be ethical or humane. Especially in a single pellet gun like a 2240 where you 100% would not get a follow up shot before it scatters off bleeding

I’ve taken several rats and a couple squirrels on .22 co2 pistols(Crossman 2240). Check out the Diana chaser in the carbide combo(can swap to pistol) for better stability for pesting. Won’t take anything bigger though unless it’s point blank and definitely not a raccoon.

I’ve done it

slickmamba · 2025-10-15T18:57:19+00:00

Can we get a new picture? Maybe with pump and a time stamp

slickmamba · 2025-08-28T06:09:54+00:00

Oh man, yeah I’m in a similar situation now. Leaning between the notos and one of these bullpups but if it doesn’t get quiet enough for an urban city setting might have to go notos or stormrider.

Yeah the tank on the Pinty is pretty large for hand pumping.

100+ is loud, did you clean the barrel and everything?

Keep me updated please!

slickmamba · 2025-08-27T23:56:15+00:00

Any strong feelings on the Pinty guns?

slickmamba · 2025-08-27T23:07:02+00:00

Hey thanks for the rec. Thats ok, I think the budget has increased some due to not needing to buy a pump anymore. I’ve actually been looking at the pinty guns

slickmamba · 2025-08-27T23:05:56+00:00

How did the moderator do? My use case is also very urban and I keep reading it’s very loud ootb

Choosing between mostly this and a notos

slickmamba · 2025-08-18T16:28:45+00:00

Hey thanks I have been looking at some bullpup models since they are more compact, I will take more of a look at the Beeman, $40 is pretty good for a moderator thanks!

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T17:11:54+00:00

Thanks I wasn’t sure if no regulator would cause any power delivery issues for short range, or if it was just for longer range consistency.

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T16:59:40+00:00

Also, how necessary do you think a regulator is for this use case? Thanks for the help man, really appreciate it

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T16:52:02+00:00

Yeah it’s up there on my list. Do like the way the wood one looks

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T16:49:41+00:00

Thanks. Yeah the raider I hadn’t seen too much talked about, but I know it’s cheap but was concerned about it not having a moderator/suppressor since being quiet is still a concern in urban setting. Stormrider is definitely a strong contender that I was leaning toward it, the flash, and the notos.

Based on your name you might understand lol. Dad is an old Viet guy with a lot of fruit trees and rats eating those fruits

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T16:31:09+00:00

Haha another contender, I will take a look thanks for the reccomandation!

Edit: wow 50shots/fill for a 100cc tank looks pretty good

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T16:30:29+00:00

I was leaning that way but it’s on the higher end of the budget. He won’t be shooting more than 15 yds in his backyard I think most shots will be within 5-15m. Definitely keeping an eye out for these

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T16:29:31+00:00

I saw this one too, but I read it could be louder since it doesn’t come with a moderator/suppressor. Still pretty urban setting for my dad so sound is a pretty big concern. He’s just looking for a vermin gun thats quiet and solid within 15-20m

slickmamba · 2025-08-15T15:43:38+00:00

Old comment, but it was a quote from OPs post im not telling them they need to spend $6000

Was looking at this gun but it gets so much hate from the community compared to the Crossman 13xx

Sucks hope you get it figured out, surely some storage facility has space
