I had an Anschutz 9mm for a while in lovely condition and only sold it to make room in the cabinet. I patterned it and was pleasantly surprised at the pattern at 10 -15yds. It would make a right mess of a tin can and I would think would easily be capable of humane dispatch of small vermin at that range.

I've had an Anschutz 9mm Garden Gun for in excess of 50 years and they are very effective on rats and other vermin.
"Garden gun" isn't an actual make of gun, as your post seems to lend me to think you mean (possibly mistakenly). It's a type. Generally thought to be of some use in a garden for such things as the ultimate penalty for rabbits chomping your brassicas and root vegetables. It's generally a small bore shotgun, 9mm being typical. The idea is it'll deal with the pesky pests but won't blow up your flower beds or bowl over the old lady that lives next door as she hangs her smalls out. Quite a few makers of old produced something suitable. Indeed a lot of old .303 Lee Enfields were converted to smooth bore 9mm guns, the idea being you could possess one on a shotgun certificate.
Of course shooting rabbits and rats in the back garden of your 3 bed semi these days will create mayhem akin to a full pub when the England football team win a game. But they still have their uses for some. Ammo is still readily available, if not widely. You local gun shop, if it doesn't have any will likely be able to get some in for you.

I understood possibly incorrectly they were originally mainly used on fruit farms for the control of such things as bull finches on cherry and alike, whereby the shot wouldn’t damage the bark of the tree but would remove the pest in question.
Years ago the cartridges had a copper base and when you fired the paper case went up the barrel with the shot. I had a Webley and Scott bolt action one.
I killed my first deer with it, how I won't divulge apart from it requiring a cap, two loads of powder from cartridges down muzzle, bog roll and a 9mm lead ball.

More than possible I guess.
My first shotgun was a webley9mm or no3 garden gun also available in 22 or no2 garden gun eley cartridges shot all the paper tube but the later fiochi where chrome plated both shot a 1/4 oz of 7s gave mine away to the keeper on a shoot i beet on and stalk he uses it for shooting grey squirrels in the live catch traps as there are still reds he says it is by far the best tool for that job as no damage to the trap this gun is nearly 60 years old.
Don't have the gun but still have a box of cartridges.
Always fancied one of these !

I’ve got a manuarm 9mm, it shoots good patterns at up to 15 yards. The last ammunition I bought was rws acorn brand, they cost me £8:95 per box of 50 cartridges a couple of years ago.
That was cheap!
