H&N Field Target Trophy and JSB Exact domes. Pointed pellets are not accurate in any of my guns. A pellet should look like a shuttlecock, round tip and flared skirt to fully engage the rifling at those 2 points. The RWS super domes might be OK. Hard pass on anything Daisy or Gamo. Nothing light. Around 8-9 grains for .177 and 14 grains for .22. Heavier pellets to tame "magnum" guns.
Might be a less expensive option.

An acquaintance of mine hunts with one because he can't legally own a firearm. He likes it.
Look for a used Career 707 rifle available in .22 and up to 9mm. That would instantly lol a red ear turtle.
Might be a less expensive option.

.410 shells are not cheap and they're hard to come by. Folks gravitated to 28 gauge guns for game like doves.
I've had 10/22 since the late sixties and is everything it is cracked up to be. It loves Winchester Super X hollow points. I have 25 and 50 round magazines. Run the mag and It never jams... hardly, hardly ever jams. Drives tacks. Scope and sling, of course.
My first shotgun was an old double barreled .410, full and modified, forgot make. It would fire both barrels at once.
The Diana 350 magnum is a great air rifle for the money. Used one for a few years and it worked well with rabbits and squirrels also very accurate
Rattler! What the first thing that comes to mind. A snake for me. Back off varmints. Yosemite Sam with one in each hand. Three round burst, like an M-16, if that works like one would hope it ought to be a hit. I'm thinking of buying one just because.
That last one, the Blitz. I wonder how loud it is, the .22 version. It needs a red dot optical sight in my opinion. I'd expect it to drive tacks. Got a back porch with a yard extending to wild growth, there's the thing for rats and other varmints.
Use a heavier pellet to slow it down so it doesn't go supersonic. Actual pellets don't perform accurately at supersonic speeds. It's also therefore quieter if it doesn't break the sound barrier.
