Airsoft is a toy. They are designed not to pierce skin, be it human or animal. A good air rifle as mentioned above could be used for rabbits, but a firearm would be better. Something in a .22 or a shotgun would be ideal, and can be had relatively inexpensively.
If you want to hunt turkeys, buy a shotgun, period. A 12ga Remington 870 would be great, and relatively inexpensive.
If you are intent on using an air rifle, there are many good models available. Like slothman said, get a single shot that shoots at least 700 feet per second. Personally, I would want 1000 fps for hunting.

Why would you use a airsoft gun to hunt? You should use something that gives you a quick kill. Animals aren't supposed to suffer, and it's our responsibility as hunters to make sure of that. Unless your under 10 yrs. old, use at least a .22! But if airguns are what you want to purchase, Gamo makes a line of hunting guns, but I had a friend buy one and said the quality was horrible and he returned it.

Gamo 1000 FPS and use pellets not BBs the are more designed for hunting. Also you you need to limit you size from Rabbits and Squirrils down. No Turkeys please.
If you don'l like the Gamo, try daisy or crossman. You just want one that will push over 800 FPS.

You are a jackass. Hunt with an airsoft gun? Someone needs to beat some sense into you. You can't go killing turkeys and what not for the hell of it. Turkeys are a regulated big game animal and you must follow the legal processes to shoot one, and bb guns are not on the approved list of weapons in any state. And hunting with airsoft guns? I don't think I've ever heard anything so stupid in my life... maybe I'll go watch a youtube video of Al Gore on Global Warming and get back to you on your title of supreme moron.
