It's a great idea in theory, but you'd have to figure a way to up the velocity A LOT. I've had that model air pistol (when I was 10 yr.s old, because it looked so much like the beloved 1911, and again about ten yr.s ago, for nostalgic reasons) and the first time around was shot with it more than once. Personal experience allows me to say that all you'll do to a squirrel with it ,is make him mad <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. But, with that said, with higher velocity, and maybe a .22 instead of.177, You'd have a fun and practical little plinker... I'd buy one if the price was right <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
