Will a daisy red ryder bb gun kill a chipmunk with a body shot?
Not a chance, I'd say. Those things can't break the skin of anything, as far as I'm concerned. I had a frog problem and dug my old bb rifle out of the attic to try and dish out some population control. After about half an hour, I was totally convinced that any memories I'd had of this rifle breaking anything were probably exaggerated. I remember trying to break bottles with it as a kid, and it never even chipped them.



A pellet rifle is what people would use in the city to take care of small pest rodents. You can get rid of most rats and squirrels with a decent one, and there is really no noise problem. They will put out a window, or an eye, so you should be a little more careful about where you are aiming. With a decent rifle and a good shot, you won't have to shoot a pest several times in order to finish it off.



If pellet rifles are too expensive for you, or dangerous, or for whatever reason unavailable, try a slingshot. You can get a powerful slingshot at just about any sporting goods store, and most places also sell metal pellets for hunting with them. You could pretty easily deal with a chipmunk using this sort of shot in a new slingshot, but for godsake don't shoot your buddies with it.
Reply:This may sound bad but here at home I do get rid of chipmunks and red squirrels, they have done alot of wireing damage and even started a fire in the walls by shorting out some wires. in this case I do get rid of them. I don't go out of my way to shoot them, only when need be. if you need to get rid of them , dont make them suffer use some thing with more power than a single pump BB gun, my gun i can put 10 pumps in it and then shoot, and i like pellets for this,,,,,,



Dont just shoot a animal just because, I know a responsible hunter should keep in mind the checks and balances of a game animal ......And yes a head shot is the best one to take,



I read some answers and saw one that bugged me, who in there right mind would have a BB gun war ? As a part time medic, Ive seen some rather sad outcomes of just such a thing.
Reply:I have killed many a chipmunk as a nuisance animal in my gardens.



A red ryder bb gun WILL kill a chipmunk with a head shot. The pellet is usually not moving fast enough to effectively penetrate the body and do enough damage for a confirmed kill.



Upgrade your pellet gun- try and make a humane kill
Reply:I seriously doubt it, we used to have bb gun fights when we were kids and the daisy's would barely get under your first layer of skin let alone penetrate. If you're doing this for fun, knock it off. If there is a legitimate pest problem there are better ways to deal with chipmunks,squirrels, etc.

If you're wanting to shoot at something for fun get into paintball where people fire back. I wish we had those when we were kids, we probably wouldn't have been having bb gun and bottle rocket fights. Geez we were stupid. LOL
Reply:no.......and chipmunks are not a game animal and you should not kill them.........people like you give responsible hunters a bad name



well since you added details it's now a different story......if your going to kill them as pests use something stronger than a Red Ryder
Reply:save alittle more for a stronger one... I use a CO2 powered pellet rifle and it takes squirrels and pigeons out easily in one shot... as soon as it hits them you see a "mist" and then they drop... usually they die instantly so it is no pain...
Reply:I would recommend a cat. I had a cat that loved catching chipmunks. We put a bell on her, but it didn't help. She nearly wiped out a thriving population in 5 months. I guess she would have gotten them all, but we moved away.
Reply:You'll put your eye out!
Reply:not if you use a normal bb. if you buy the more expensive lead pellets then probably yeah
Reply:why kill a chipmunk ? whats he ever done to you?
Reply:That's so mean!!!
