Need a pistol / rifle for vermin control HELP

[JakesterUK]

I need a non licensed pistol or gun to shoot rats with, can anyone offer any recommendations and also whats the difference between a .22 rifle and a .177 rifle.

Can you buy an air pistol that fires more than one shot at a time (got quite a few rats to shoot).

Thanks

WOW, thanks for all the input, some real good pointers & advise, must admit I don't see me picking this up as a hobby (got too many already), so wasn't planning on spending a fortune as it will be primarily for pest control & probably a bit of paper target shooting in the field.

I reckon £150 would be my top budget

Following the posts at the very start of the thread I'd already ruled out a pistol and will only be looking at a rifle.

How to get rid of rats.

1x house brick.
Cover with peanut butter.
Place in middle of lawn.
Cover a 50p sized piece of cling film with a layer of red nail polish.
Take lens off maglite, place red cling film over it. Re-assemble and position in upstairs window (open) pointing at brick.
Wait till dark.
Put torch on.
Shoot rats with the cheapest .22 air rifle you can get.
Don't bother moving the rats once dead, other will continue to eat from the brick regardless of their fallen comrades.
Once done, bin bag and dispose of rats.

Then wait for armed response when a neighbour reports shooting from house window.

Seriously OP - make sure you are a good distance from any roads/houses/foot paths or you may well have the ARU pointing their guns at you.

I live rural so not a concern
