I live on one acre with neighbor's houses fairly close to the borders of my lot similar to what the OP described. There's no way I'd shoot even .22 Short in my neighborhood. In fact, I don't even like firing my high-power springer air rifle, although I've done it a few times. I have a Beeman P1 pistol which fires 177 pellets at 600fps. That's about the limit of what I would feel comfortable shooting within one acre of land with houses not too far from the border of my lot.
