Keep in mind that all shotguns shoot pellets with essentially the same velocity. A #2 shot from a 20 guage will kill just as well as a #2 shot from a 10 guage. The only difference is that the 10 guage will shoot a lot more of them at once.

So a 16 guage will definitely kill effectively if you put the pellets on target. Effective patterns will have a longer range than a 20 guage, and slightly less range than a 12 just because of the number of pellets in a load, but the gun will be very effective within its range.

Nothing wrong with the choice at all.
