Several of the quackenbush airguns would be up to the task. They have limited range, but would definitely be big enough for a coyote. They have been used on deer, pigs, and even a bison. How’s that for an airgun. I won’t bother with the link, I see someone else did that all ready.

C_F_45 nailed it. To kill coyotes you need a large bore, high-power airgun. That usually means a PCP gun in .30, 9mm, .45, or .50 caliber. However there are more than the DAQ rifles he mentioned. There’s also the Shinsung Career 707 Ultra in 9mm, the Sam Yang 909 in .45, and the Shinsung Career Dragonslayer 50, which would have more than enough wallop for coyotes. Since they are production guns there won’t be the waiting list for custom guns like the DAQs or Barnes Justice.
As far as hunting small game like pigeon, squirrel, or rabbit, any hunting airgun would have enough power provided you keep the ranges modest. Springers predominate here, though there are a number of affordable pumps (like the Crosman 2100, Benjamin 392/397) and PCPs (like the Benjamin Discovery) that aren’t unreasonably priced and which would work well. For larger animals like raccoon, nutria, possum, etc… You’re mainly going to be confined to the more powerful .22 and .25 springers and PCP guns since the extra power translates into a greater safety margin (more penetration, more downrange energy, bigger wound channels) and range.

Any 22 caliber air rifle that fires a pellet at 800fps should work for small game up to 60yds,it will kill coyotes out to the same range with a head shoot,if tou take a chest shoot keep it under 45yds.

Coyotte is NOT small game!
These will certainly kill most small game, up to foxes and raccoons ( you may want to choose a .25 caliber repeater for follow up shots…)
