Patches: I live in Long Beach CA. A city of houses for 20 square miles and not any wide open spaces. They really frown on the appearance of guns or facimiles in the neighborhood. But, many of neighbors are taking the law into their own hands by fighting back at the crows and the roof rats. I have a couple of fruit trees that lose 90% of the crop to these pests. Do you think a pellet gun with a velocity of 800 will stop them. What is the difference between a .177 and a .22 caliber and which one do I need? Cabelas has one in the $500. bracket, which is really steep. They also sell the guns with a velocity of 1000 pounds. Some of the more expensive guns pump only once to achieve max. velocity. Is this important?
