The actual muzzle velocity of most adult grade spring air rifles is between 1,000 fps and 1,200 fps for .177 cal. pellets, right up there with some .22 LR ammo.

Yeah, but your average .177 pellet weighs about 8 grains, compared to 36-40 grains for your average .22LR projectile.

No doubt; that’s why it’s great for taking squirrels on you own property, even in a city. A regular .22 just has too much wallop and lethal range.
