High powered air rifles

Single pump, 1000fps air rifles.  Members of a native animal organization have been using these types of air rifles to kill off invasive bird species.  Claims they can hit and kill birds at 50+ yards.  Not bad at all.

While I'm on the subject, if anyone here is a fisherman, if you catch a carp, please don't release it back into the water.  Carp are an invasive species from Asia and wreak much havoc on the fish and plant-life of the U.S.

I used to have one of these:





Really, really accurate.  I used to shoot the legs off spiders.  

But hardly any power.
