Borderline novelty item as far as I'm concerned. I've shot (Rather, shot at) empty pop cans from about 20'-25' away and missed. I've shot empty pop cans from 20' away, hit them, and NOT knocked them over. lol Up close, I suspect mice/small birds would be OK. Pigeons are another matter. I shoot pigeons in barns quite frequently over the winter months, and a square hit from a CCI Quiet-22 round won't reliably kill them on the first shot. And that's a 40gr. bullet travelling @ about 700fps. I tracked-down some CCI Quiet-22 Segmented to try in the coming weeks, but with such a slow velocity, I kind of doubt the performance will differ much from the solids.
