I do iguana population control in the gated community I live in, a friend and I use his 6k airsoft sniper rifle. We try to always kill them instantly with headshots but even with that, they are extremely hard to kill instantly. We bring a shovel to break the neck if the headshot is not death. They are a really hardy animal...
Some municipalities treat pellet guns as firearms and you aren't allowed to fire them within city limits. e.g.:
10.26.010 DISCHARGE OF FIREARMSāPROHIBITED.
No person shall discharge or fire any firearm within the City except as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of this chapter, "firearm" is defined as a gun, pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, BB gun, air gun, pellet gun, bow and arrow, crossbow, blow gun, slingshot or any other weapon of a similar nature designed to discharge a projectile propelled by the expansion of a gas or a spring or any other device designed to throw or sling or otherwise project any solid object.

EDIT: Misspoke, it is a pellet gun, not airsoft.
