OK, hear me out before you laugh.
I live in the city with a lot of homes and people around me. When TSHTF some of those people will leave, but a lot may hang around.
There are a lot of potential food items like doves which hang out around my house. In the bad times, these will be good for fresh meat, but my neighbors might not like me using a 12 guage to gather supper, since some of the pellets will continue on to who knows where. This same logic can be applied to using a .22 to shoot rats. If you hit the thing, the bullet may travel through it and continue on. If you miss, the bullet will end up somewhere.
A pump up BB/pellet rifle could solve some of these problems. I have one which only cost me about 40 bucks some years back, and you can stock up on thousands of BB's and pellets for almost nothing. Several pumps will give enough power to easily kill a bird or a rat, but not so much power that it will travel for a long distance if you miss.
Also, it makes almost no noise and attracts almost no attention. Maybe not much good for country folk with a lot of land, but what do you think about this as a city tool for the bad times?
