How many magazines does each g1200 comes with ? Is the magazine wide enough for skenco pellets or prometheus ?

I am asking this because I want to use it for some pest control. The owner of the farm does not want LEAD pellets, fearing that the chickens will eat tiny fragments of LEAD.

Does G1200 with a PCP setup have enough punch to kill crows and pigeons ?

Has anyone tried mounting a sound moderator onto a G1200 ?

Model # 250 Lead-Free .177 cal. Pellets
250 count pointed field design lead free hunting pellets.

New Raptor Performance Ballistic Alloy, the first non-lead Alloy Airgun Ammunition that increases velocity up to 25% over lead, while maintaining “match grade” accuracy. Specifically designed as a hunting load, the new P.B.A.™ enables airguns which normally shoot 1000 f.p.s. to shoot up to1200 f.p.s., with tremendous penetration. In fact, the ammunition is 50% harder than lead causing penetration to be enhanced by up to 100% in tests in actual hunting situations as well as ballistic mediums. Raptor P.B.A. test results show ballistic stability at super-sonic speeds and up to 90% weight retention using the new semi-pointed design..
Wt. 5.1 grains.

G1200 has built in magazine.

I just tested with skenco pellets, they're a bit too long even the short one.

G1200 modified about 6.2 ft.lbs.

no, never tried sound moderator on it ....

For getting rid off crows and pigeons perhaps you want QB78 .22 to do the job.
