I would for go airsoft and upgrade to a pellet rifle for best results.
Its been my experience that the 177 preformed better for me.
I get a faster muzzle velocity and much deeper penetration with the 177.
I first tried a 22 thanking it would be better, I was incorrect.
My son came over with his 177 Gamo and had me try it out.
Both weapons were scope mounted and very accurate.
I was impressed to see that the 177 was blowing completely through the squirrels chest cavity and resulting in 1 shot clean kills on the 4 squirrels that gave me a shoot around my house.
Luckily I had barrowed the 22 cal from a friend to try out to see if I liked it, and I did not.
I went out and bought a Gamo and mounted a scope on it and have rid my surrounding yard of squirrels and rabbits and a few snakes, only one required a follow up shot and that was a rabbit that happened to turn away from me just as I shoot.
But I do prefer the 177 at 1000 to 1200 fps at those speeds the cant help but blow all the way through your target.
You can get these and more at Cabela’s and Academy sports if you call around you will find others who carry this brand.

Airsoft won't do the job. Try a high power air gun or better a .22 long rifle. Practice, practice, and practice safety and good shooting priciples BEFORE you go out in the woods. The last thing we need is another gun hating, IDIOT lawmaker passing more dumb laws.

Keep dreaming, your not going to kill a squirrel with an
airsoft. You need at least a .177 pellet to drop a squirrel.

Benjamin Sheridan is the best and will have no problem dropping small game. Cost is around $140.00 but worth every penny. I've seen them shoot through a 2x4.

You can get a 1,000 ft/sec air rifle for about $150. and it will work fine. I have seen them at Walmart.
I have an older Benjamin 5mm multiple pumps (from 3 to 8) with about 450 ft/sec and a new Gamo single pump stroke 0.177 at 1,000 ft/sec

ok no real airsoft rifle will kill a squirrel except the 'carbine sniper' you can find on shortyusa.com or on ebay.
not the point squirells are big enough that it's cruelty to animals and/or poaching to kill one without a hunting liscense or on someone elses property... sounds lame i know but it's illegal. don't do it
