  How about a nice coat of paint or a nice coat of rhino liner.

    Most of them in my area are about 25 feet / 8 meters up in the air.

      Gonna take some dedication and planning and a gas powered cut off saw.

  The answer is almost certainly, but the followup question is how much pellet gun?

  Some of them certainly are. You can also get air rifles with built in “moderators” (i.e. suppressors) that are surprisingly quiet. Precharged pneumatic air rifles can be very powerful and also extremely accurate. I have a relatively cheap Hatsan that can, provided I’m using pellets that it likes, repeatably put pellets through the same hole in my target from as far away as I can get from it in my yard (probably about 20 yards) and do so about 30 times in succession before I have to pump it back up again. Its built in moderator makes it quiet enough at the muzzle that the sound of the hammer hitting the gas valve is actually louder than the report from firing.

  Watch out: Researching this type of thing may send you tumbling down the rabbit hole of big bore air rifles and entice you to spend a lot of money. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

    Oh man. Silent rifle that can damage those cameras from 20 yards. Wow.

    Hm… Does anyone know if the glass it uses is tough like gorilla glass?

    Fun fact. Air carbines, with a scope, can be very precise at short-dish range. Essentially a low powered .22, and fairly silent.

    You should be careful to make sure you don’t hit glass, as it may shatter.

    I wonder why in most jurisdictions there is no licensing needed?
