Without a licence you're restricted to Nerf guns and Super Soakers, which the rabbits might even enjoy

Incorrect! Some Nerf guns are banned too. Yep. LOL

So you've also owned/used a reputable quality European based PCP .22cal in FAC configuration have you ? As i have one, i experience the benefits of the PCP definitively outweigh the 22LR rimfire for pest control, at least to 50m.

So as someone who has zero experience with a pcp what are the benefits over .22lr
