I've never seen the Walther, but IMHO you should look at a Colt Woodsman. Ruger makes a nice .22 auto pistol as well.

Why don't you give them a sporting chance and use a C02
Crossman pellet gun? Its a lot quieter and its legal to shoot in a
city I think. Don't quote me on that one though.

Maybe you could use a m16 or a bit of c4

The squirrels are asking for it. Little blighters flit around with their fuzzy tails, chatter at you and fling nuts at people. They're a menace, basically rats with fuzzy tails and should be exterminated.

As for God sending his eternal justice my way, I don't recall the Bible having a "Thou shalt not snuff out squirrels" commandment. I bet Jesus ...[text shortened]... 're all full up on crazy here.

I don't think Jesus every "ate" any rodents, but, he was a mean shot with a sling. Squirrels are the work of the Devil and Jesus'd smoke those furry little vermin from 25 yards with a rock the size of your fist. He would put some 'Jesus Juice' on 'em and really fastball a rock down range. Just paws and a tail would be left. Jesus doesn't mess around.

Good suggestions, and a .223 round travelling at 3000ft/sec will obliterate the little vermin. However, C4 is frowned up from a legal standpoint and, in truth a good Molatov cocktail is probably more effective, cook those babies down.

This is great , but you're not looking at the larger picture : I assume that you're going to be teaching your kids how to shoot soon . Killing is going to be an abstraction to a 4 year old if you blow the varmit to bits with c4 . He won't get the right idea about how it should be done unless he sees the full effect of a hollow-point on the squirrel body . Plus the blast could traumatize him . We must be careful that he doesn't get scared off killing early on .
An M16 is going to be too large for him , ruining his aim . This also could discourage him from killing . Teaching him how to shoot a revolver with a two hand grip is going to teach him how to shoot and kill properly . Plus with all of the gun violence he's seen on TV , he'll have an automatic connection to operating a revolver .
Remember the little ones . You need to be a role model for him in everything you do .

I thought they are hibernating just now so shoot acorns.
Can I "encourage" your squirrel from coming out of hibernation by planting my "oak" tree in the right place?....I'll even give it a "trim"......"Shoot" me a squirrel via e-mail.... 😉

You're right of course. Hence the interest in the Walther P22. The small frame is ideal for my wife's smaller hand. Nothing would give be a blue steel woody faster than my wife pumping round after round into a squirrel. I might need some alone time with it's tiny corpse.

Once we have kids, I plan to condition them with routine showings of Scarface, Platoon, Gladiator, Full Metal Jacket, and various 80's gore fest horror movies. I also think that telling them, "Mommy won't love you unless you kill the squirrel" will be effective.
