Not that it's ethical, but just for academics would an RWS 22 or 177 head shot on a deer drop it?

After seconding your caveat about ethics, I will answer that it's possible. People get killed with pellet guns on occasion.
I'd say it depends on a lot of things. Which is to say that it would be extremely unethical. If I were going to try something like that, I'd want a heavy round nose pellet, a very powerful airgun, a perfect setup and a lot of luck.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the newer pre-charged pneumatics, they can be as powerful as a black-powder rifle. My above comments referenced "conventional" airguns shooting diabolo style pellets.
