Even back in 1963 I shot several squirrels out of a tree in the back
yard with a Crosman pellet gun. The kind you could pump up to 10 times.
There are some now that are even more powerful, and I think it only
takes one pump.

Can't think of the name, my neighbor has one, works like a single
barrel shot gun. Bend the barrel down, insert the pellet is all that
is needed. No need for "pumping" them up.
