Could be a TM or a WE. The made in Taiwan kind of gives it away as a WE.
upon further googlefoo, if it's a C02 version that shoots pellets/bb's then it is neither a TM or WE.
and apparently you can get them from wal mart for under $100

And even further googlefoo has led me to believe it is a Umarex .177 air gun. IE you won't be playing airsoft with it.

It doesn't have the painted red dot slide safety so it's probably an Umarex co2 pellet pistol (non-blowback version i believe). They are sold for around 80 dollars new in sporting stores in Canada.

Thanks guys it helped much

So is the gun powerfull enough to kill a bird ( I would kill a bird but just saying" and is it worth it ?

[monterto]

It's powerful enough to hurt someone pretty bad. You can't play airsoft with a pellet gun.

I see but is it worth it, and he said it's beretta Px4 but it doesn't look like it

its close to the px3 but not exactly a px4
we said you can buy them cheaper at walmart

also you are in the wrong place to ask about killing small animals with pellet guns

No. It is not powerful enough to kill a bird or a rabbit. You need a 500fps+ air rifle to kill them. Please don't use anything under 500fps to shoot any life stock as you will just cause them suffering.

Protip, Hadijak. Stop posting. Along with your other posts, it's apparent you'd like to do harm to something, and that's not what airsoft is about. Personally, I'd prefer you refrain from doing something that'd hurt an animal, another person, or lower the reputation of air shooting sports in general.

Hadijak, from the sounds of it you're not a country kid. There are laws against discharging airguns in pretty much every city or metropolitan area (and I'm pretty sure even moreso for killing varmits). If you're hunting varmits then you'd either have what you need, or know what you need.

tl;dr take your shit to airgunforum, or canadianairguns.

BTW turtleralph, do you actually need something 500+ FPS? I was under the impression you could ethically eradicate gophers, groundsquirrels, and such with a 495 FPS .22 (because of the extra energy afforded to a .22 going at 495FPS compared to a .177/4.5mm).

I posted a question once about airsoft for killing. Really different circumstances, but that thread provided a wealth of info that summarized to, "NOPE".

800 fps in .22 caliber air rifles is the basic minimum for clean humane kills of small games.

The best bet is to go to a hunting store and ask a hunter on what equipments that you will need for your planned activity. They are the best people to ask. Airsofters are not into killing anything with our equipments. We engage in games in private fields. We shoot each other and we laugh. No one dies at the end of the day.
