Does anyone know, if there is a silenced pellet gun or a rifle?
Now that I'm back in town, it's frowned upon to shoot Magpies with a pellet gun lol.
But we are having a Magpie issue and I would like to get rid of them. I could consider getting bird tips for my compound bow

Shooting them with a rifle would be more fun

I just knocked the start of a nest out of my fir tree from those noisey buggers. Might be time for some air power.

Sling shot and .38 cal balls are very accurate and deadly.
And I've never shot a stray cat, all rumors.
friggan tom cats are another issue all together......they don't swim to well in a pillow case

Its funny my dog won't pickup a dead magpie

also after you pop a magpie get ready for the others to show up, it gets loud when one dies

My pellet rifles are 495 fps and 1200 fps, the 1200 is loud!! I also have a pistol That takes C02 cartridges and that's fairly loud

I was also told to take the dead on and spread it wing tip to wing tip. Apparently this tells the others to stay away

I have a high powered pellet gun and it isn't quiet haha.
I've never heard of people using oil/fuel filters though. They probably wouldn't make a good silencer
