They're supposed to be tools, dangerous tools. That's a bit like saying you're allowed a 12mm spanner, one screwdriver and one pair of pliers for your tool kit. Deer hunting VS rabbit vd rodent, you don't want to be firing dollar coins at rats when a high powered air rifle will do the trick. That same air rifle is useless for the deer and rabbits.

Cant bait rodents eating chicken feed as the chooks'll eat the bait too.

High powered air rifles have very cheap ammo.
