I’m looking for something that is fast and cheap

Do a reality check. Faster does not equate with cheaper, since you have to pay more for anything faster or slower than "standard velocity".

that will kill a rat instantly even with a body shot

Body shots do not kill instantly. Wanna know why? OK, tell me where you are hitting the rat. You can't. Most of a rat's body is abdominal cavity, guts. Gut shots don't kill fast, plain and simple.

Shot placement isnt always an option
|
Shot placement is king. Don't believe me? An employee of the Smithsonian was sent to Africa in the early 1900s to collect specimens. He collected over 3,000 specimens with a 22LR up to and including an elephant. Coincidence? No, shot placement. Each one was shot through the eye.
A friend and I used to go out to shoot rats at a local feedlot when I lived in Idaho. He looked at me one time and said "I can tell which ones you shot and which ones I shot. You shoot 'em in the head". Just do that.
