I've got an Diana Model 52 in .177 and used it when I was stationed in the Air Force. Many a pigeon and squirrel fell to it with it's Diana 3X Scope on it. The air rifles that the Air Force supplied were not worth using so I always had my own for use. I even killed European Hairs with it in Germany where they store nukes and the varmints were digging too many holes. I also dropped many a feral cat to it. After the squirrels caused too many electrical outages at Pope AFB NC back in the 1980s I got a depredation permit and my worker and I killed 70 squirrels in 1 day with it. We had a squirrel feed for the squadron that Friday. Turned out great, almost all of them were taken with head shots while driving on a electric golf cart. They had 80 pecan trees next to the golf course and commanders housing where they big problem was. Pecan fed squirrel is great.
