I wouldn't try anything with a gun that only shoots 400 FPS.  Paintball guns shoot about 300 FPS, though at a higher caliber... which might cause less damage.
Anyway, off track.  Gamo makes single pump air rifles in .177 (and I believe "shotgun" versions).  Some of their guns will shoot up to 1200 FPS.  They also sell specific ammo that supposedly increases the speed up to 25%.  If you're dead bent on getting an air rifle, theoretically you could get one that shoots 1600 FPS.
