it could probably take out small game you asked about (except the fox). just make sure it has the right muzzle velocity to kill (or fatally wound) them.

Are u serious ??? That gun take down a helicopter let alone small rabbits .

No, the Crosman C11 is a smooth bore BB pistol with a “claimed up to” MV of 480fps(2.6ft-lbs) = You might be able to take a mouse or small bird at 15 feet if you got off an extremely lucky shot.

For even the smallest game or pest birds you need something more along the lines of a Crosman 1377, 2240 or 2250.

IMO, An air rifle* would be far and away the better choice.

*for example the Crosman 2100

No.

Smooth bore at 480 fps. Not a chance. Might kill a mouse if you are standing on it’s tail.

No way will it kill a fox or a squirrel. something like a bird may get injured at close range, but that’s it, sorry.

Nope. you might be able to kill a bird if you get close enough but thats it. You should but like a cheap air rifle with atleast 700+fps.
Hope i helped, thanks

Probably just birds, it could be used to kill a wounded ammo when you don’t want to use up your pellets for something that a BB can do. If you want a cheap rifle for squirrels i would go with the Crosman 760 it is just a wonderful airgun. It wont take a fox but you will need to spend a couple hundred for that. Any way here’s a link for the 760.
