Thats exactly what i said, airguns are useless in any wilderness sort of situation. I meen how often does a person ever get close enough to the animal to kill it with an airgun?

After just a short distance the pellets lose it's power and speed, and if there is just a little bit of wind the pellets will go flying of to some other place hell knows where. Admit it's a little bit silly to bring up airguns when talking about what kind of caliber firearm would be best suited in a wilderness/survival like situation.

And they are to expensive aswell i guess.
