I have a 5mm sheridan, it penitrates the avarage 55 gallon drum with a led pellet, hit a steel bumper and the pellet vaperizes. It may be the same one you have.
as to will it kill a hog, I doubt it vary much.
there is a 22 caliber pump air rifle that will do the job if you hit a pig in the temple, not the eye or streight on the forhead, too much bone mass to pennatrate.
I dont doubt that the sheridan could kill a hog if you shot it at the base of the back of its head hitting the madula.
I know a guy who hunts them from a tree in an apple orachard in tenn with a hunting knife tied to a pool stick. he waits till it gets under him and pokes it in the back of the head and it lays right down.
when I was a kid he had me thinking he was jumping out of the tree on them with that knife... Funny how people seem to be much bigger when you are a kid... LOL
