What's it got to do with "Military History and Militaria"?

Why not post this in "Shooting Sports"?

I live near a stream and a set of allotments, few problems with rats so bought a air rifle for a couple hundred quid, one of those gas bottle 177 jobs, has one of those 12 slug mag type things and a silencer.

Question, since the rats which come into the garden now and again simply laugh at me when the slugs bounce off them, failt to kill them, what would be a suitable air type gat to knock a big feckin rat over so it dosent get up?

advice please, and no, I dont want to use any type of explosive device - air weapon will suffice

.22 for slotting critters, preferably PCP, get closer and hit it in the head.

use "BSA" vermin stoppers... there good at stipping anything under a hare .. and thats at 30 yards with a body shot,, 177,, but would not try it if not ok with aim.

or better still get hold of a 22... use DYNAMIC air bullets 14:5 grain.. they have an arc in the air thats crazy ,,but they hit hard
