Little help

[Target 31]

Any one know if the Crosman 357 pellet pistol will Shoot through a Soup Can, at 10mm (32 feet).. Thanks

You might get through one side. Why do you want to know?

I don't have one, but based on its rated velocity with lead pellets, I would say it would make a good dent in one side of a unrestrained soup can.  Will not shoot through.  Never mind both sides:

The cans in this video appear unperforated after being hit:  Direct link to can shooting:




Velocity measurement:



That said, you did not specify which of these revolvers you are asking about.  One has lightly higher velocity, but neither is a powerhouse:

I have the Vigilante, its about 425fps with a 7.4g pellet and just beats the soup cans up with an occasional hole in the can. It eats up soda cans like a paper shredder. I also have the Triple Threat pistol that has the same fps rating as the 357, it to is nothing but a soup can beater.  With the Crosman 357 rated fps it's going to be about the same or less than the Vigilante and Triple Threat pistol. Both my guns are great with spinners. It's strictly a plinker, I myself would not attempt pest with it.

..we have a small group (7-8) that has a little competition just for fun..and wanted to start pistols like 357, colt peacemaker, remington 1875 and schofield..thanks

That .357 will knock over a can, precisely because it won't go through. 

Or, shoot at soda cans.  Those guns will shoot through both sides of a soda can, even when it is unopened.
