| A noisy guest... All, I want to be able to kill a possum. I have a firearm that is more than capable of the 'killing' part, but I don't wish waste the ammo, or wake up the kids do the subsequent noise created by the firearm (the possum usually comes late in the evening). Does a high-powered BB/pellet gun pack enough of a punch to the job?...let's say any 'cheapy' from walmart or what not...nothing fancy.

| Possums are scavengers looking for food scraps. Make sure your trash cans are secure. |

| You can buy one at Dicks. Single #### 1200fps .22 air rifle for around $90. That will drop a possum and alot more. (singlecock)

 .22 minimum. And even that won't do it unless it's in the head.

| Or subsonic .22 rounds. don't make much noise. Always try for head shots with rodents.
