Yeah, these airguns are sometimes made to look toyish so they aren't mistaken for real firearms.

But Jeff will need a rifle to get the beaver- a pistol is too short range. I had a beaver problem here. Every morning there would be a dozen trees cut down lying in the water. I figured out the bastard was most active at dusk and I sniped him out a 3rd floor bedroom window with a .22 There was a huge "explosion" in the water at impact and the beaver went under. Two days later I found the bastard where he'd crawled out to die.
