I have a question... Aside from being a "toy" and stuff are airguns actually good for hunting? I mean lets take a look at some of their trades...

GOOD
#1. CHEAP (COST ABOUT AS MUCH AS A GOOD BOX OF .308 AMMO FOR A RIFLE)
#2 LIGHTWEIGHT (ALTHOUGH THIS MIGHT BE CONSIDERED BAD BY SOME PEOPLE I KINDA LIKE IT WHEN I'M CARRYING IT AROUND ALL DAY!)
#3 CHEAP AMMO (VERY CHEAP!)

BAD
#1 THEY BREAK EASILY (DEPENDING ON WITCH RIFLE YOU GET...)
#2 THEY DONT HAVE MUCH RANGE OR UMPH... ( ABOUT 800 FPS)
#3 THEY ARE INACCURATE BY COMPARISON (TO A .308 OR SOMETHING)

*NOTE: All of these trates are for the daisy powerline 880.

So by looking at that can we say that bb guns are actually decent hunting weapons? I mean if you were ever in a situation were you needed to ditch and run it would be a lot easier to replace your bb gun than your .308 Police Special...

So post your vote on the matter bellow please!
