I've been getting lots of practice shooting the BB gun at squirrels (durn tree-rats!) from the front porch.  My accuracy has greatly improved and BBs are cheap.

Yeah, my method of choice at the lake, more quiet.  Thing is the accuracy is short-range...mine is an old Daisy pump...I think max is 10 pumps but heard not good for cylinder to always max up to that, not sure if true or not but I usually go 7-9...and farther out there is a definite drop to factor in...but inside 10 yards pretty stable which is common tree-rat range...usually go longer when higher in a tree and shooting up, while not the most comfortable there is less lateral movement.  If I am able to obtain employment in the area and live up there permanently I'll be a resident and fishing and small game licenses cheaper...and the latter will see my .22's get more of a workout.

Sometimes when bored I'll draw rings on a paper plate and stick it on a tree and plink away, good way to judge drop and wind.  And as you say, BB's are cheap and I got lots laying around.  And BB's seem to have better velocity and penetration than the lead pellets, not enough oomph...probably work better in a higher FPS CO2 system.

Seems yours is more of a pellet gun.  BB gun requires racking once in between shots, no CO2.

It's a pump to pressurize air in the cylinder...and a simple AR-like bolt latch to load a BB from the reservoir by sliding a feed ramp thumb latch back and tilting the barrel down to get a BB to drop into position or hand-load a lead pellet (without the thumb latch and tilt).
