Once the gun has been sighted in, you should be able to kill any small game with no problem.

The air is charged from a separate device.Ĭheck out this video about the Girandoni air rifle by the NRA National Firearms Museum:Īn air rifle like the Girandoni I purchased is great for practice and small game. What is Pre-Charged Pneumatic? Guns that use air pressure to fire ammunition. (again a little practice goes a long way) This can be very taxing on your morale when you are trying to take down a few squirrels and are forced to reload after each shot. Unless you go with the more expensive PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic), your normal break-action gun will only hold one pellet at a time. I was unfortunate enough to catch one of my knuckles several weeks ago (my own fault) and it’s still sore. Make sure your hands are out of the way when you cock it.


It takes about 30lbs of pull in order to break over the barrel and load the pellet. BUT just stick to it and fire through your “testing” period and you will be amazed at how accurate this thing is even over 100 yards! This is a normal break-in period for just about any air rifle and can be frustrating. The first 75-100 shots have very bad accuracy.
