    9-10ft/lbs . I wouldn't use a gun for hunting if it was less.

    I was told it should take out pests and birds easily with a possibility for small game hunting. I guess I should't trust gun dealers for advice haha.

    Birds you would find in your garden. I can't name any as I know next to nothing about birds.

    Then you'd better read up and WELL before you aim your crosshairs on anything live, if you can't tell the difference between a feral, woodie, what a crow looks like or a magpie, you could end up in the crap, Also the main point, You shouldn't be killing random things that pop up into your back garden anyways.
