Varmint rifle

No, bullet velocity is too low to make a lethal kill of a squirrel. 450 fps, got to be at least 600 fps.
How fast does one travel out of your basic daisy Red Rider? Killed a crow with that at about 20yards, 1 shot

About 350 fps, in a .177. Sure, can take a crow with a good shot. Not a squirrel. There are .22 air rifles that reach velocity of more than 1000 fps. That is your varmint gun.
