It isn't a high enough caliber pistol for hunting... it may seem powerful because it dented a wall or pierced through the drywall... but it isn't powerful enough to take hunting.. IF you use an air pistol, or even an air rifle(which is much more powerful) to hunt, you are being stupid--- animals will be injured by these shots, but not killed, and they will get away from you but probably bleed out or die in the wild... you are simply going around injuring animals if you use a bbgun to hunt. (small animals like squirrel or chipmunk MAY be killed by a direct head shot from a bb pistol... but don't even bother... its irresponsible hunting)

You can. Should you? No. It's pretty inhumane and the animals will either slowly bleed out, or suffer painful but not fatal wounds.

If you took a screwdriver and stabbed the wall it would likely go through, so it's not really that powerful. What the heck are you doing shooting holes in walls anyway? No, you can't hunt with it, it's not powerful enough to responsibily kill small game, not even little birds. Don't be scared of it, just be very careful with it. Those little CO2 Daisy's are great for shooting empty soda cans....BUT shoot it someplace safe where you can't hurt anyone.

Instead of shooting holes in the wall try this. Even if you have one of the more powerful Daisy CO2 pistols such as the Powerline 617X(485fps) it's not powerful enough to hunt anything more than frogs or the like. Frog legs make some fine eating :)) There is no need to be scared of any gun, learn to respect them and handle them safely. This is a more powerful air pistol Crosman 1377C(600fps) and the cost is about the same as the Daisy This is an even more powerful and quite a well made pistol RWS Model 5G Magnum(700fps) This is an extremely high quality air pistol Beeman P-1(600fps)

Only custom air pistols can take small game. Several rifles can take small game like rabbits, doves, squirrel. But not just any rifle (magnum an up), bb guns are totally out of of the question.

It would be unlikely to provide a clean humane kill for most animals. You could hunt flies or bees with it for sure. Maybe spiders.
