YES. I shoot in my back yard with a RWS 34 at 25 yds. And it works just fine. I put a piece of carpet behind it to catch strays, if I miss. Good pellet trap.

As far as trapping he pellet, yes. I have gone online and inquired about this product and I found a interesting information about lead particles and dust. One article in particular (don't remember the http) wrote about lead splash back through the paper target and I found this in paper targets when I shot .22 subsonic at a distance of 60 ft. in effect lead dust. DO NOT SHOOT INDOORS unless you have at least this distance and excellent ventilation !

Yep, target box is designed for .22 caliber bullets which go along at about 2200 fps. Just make sure that you hit the box! or at least have a good backstop for it.

Yes, as long as you contain the lead splatter from the pellet hitting hard objects. Using a bullet box or soft lumber are two excellent ways to contain it.

The muzzle velocity of this air rifle is approx. the same as a standard .22 round at 1200 fps. So a well placed shot to the head I would think would be lethal

I don't know about the .177 but it certainly has a enough power to do what an air gun should do....it takes a while to site it in but powerful!!

Yes, as far as I know. I have not tried it with a .177 caliber BB, but I tested it in response to your question with a 6mm airsoft pellet. The chrony reported muzzle velocities averaging about 225 fps at the muzzle. The measured velocities were very consistent, and I have no reason to doubt their accuracy (it was not a top-notch airsoft pistol).

I use them in my Nitro Venom Dusk and they have great penetration power and they are very accurate to 50 yards. I have not found an occasion to test them at a greater distance. If you have the need for a high velocity pellet I see no reason that they would not serve you well, at least in the 22 cal version. I can't speak to the 177 cal version as I have not used them. Hope this helps. good hunting.

You could but that won't get the targets to move. They are made from 1/4in steel. A .22 will get them to spin all the way around and a 1100fps pellet gun wil only make a sound and get about 3in of movement.

you probably could as long as they were .177 ,but i would worry they would get caught in the barrel, since they might deform from the pressure of the air pushing them.

This should be used with 6mm airsoft with maybe 450fps max muzzle velocity. While the center section can take the pounding at this level, one hit on the frame will crack it. I would put double sticky foam tape around the frame and the bottom bb catch so it will last longer.

I use this in a gun safe at about 70 deg. But I tested it from about +30 to about +100 degrees and it was right on. Maybe someone can help more.

Sorry, I use mine in the basement as well. It would be about like running an air conditioner.

Yes. The scope is actually sprung airgun rated which means it can hold up to pretty serious and eccentric recoil. It can be used on most rifles with no issues.

The pistol is intended for standard .177 cal metal BBs. If you use plastic BBs they must be the same caliber. The fps will increase but the accuracy and penetration charactersitics will degrade due to the less weight of plastic.

Should not be a problem. I was shooting from 200+ using shoot-n-c targets. Could see hits very clearly.

Yes, I am currently using this on my .177 cal. air rifle. Note: the laser is difficult to see in daylight. I use mine at night for predators on my farm. It works great.

It should not be a problem as I have used a.177air gun with the Zombies as the targets. Of course you must use common sense and don't place the target too close in the event of a ricochet. I hope this answer helps in your decision.

nope. Assuming the sound you are hearing is from the pellet breaking the sound bearing and not from something like your gun "dieseling" the best bet is to use a heavier pellet. This will get you under 1200fps and take care of that loud crack you are hearing.

Yes it should be fine. You just have to make sure the air rifle can have rings mounted on it. Then just make sure you buy the correct rings
