[QUOTE="SteveLM, post: 2176157, member: 113868"] One obvious option is to simply go with the caliber that you want, but bear in mind that the larger the caliber, the more "firearm-like" the airgun becomes. This might limit your use options because of noise or perception. I ended up choosing 22 because it's powerful enough to use for pests, if necessary, but is also a small enough caliber to be perceived as relatively innocuous (if that makes any sense). IIRC, a 22 pellet has about 1/3 the muzzle energy of a 22LR so of course should be treated the same as any firearm. But I can shoot my 22 airgun in the basement or backyard without raising too much concern from the wife or neighbors. Not sure I could do that with a 45 or 50 airgun. [/QUOTE]
