When I procured an air rifle on the recommendation of KBCraig, on the other thread, I thought it would be just for fun and plinking. But when looking for ballistics data, I stumbled across this site:

I never imagined an air rifle could be such an important tool for protecting your home and property. Check out the article "PRO RAT SHOOTING IN A FOOD FACTORY," in which a business owner felt its importance to his business justified investing in a night vision sight, flourescent powder, and black lights. It must have been an unique shooting experience!

p.s. In my judgement, the photos at this site don't violate the 10 year old daughter rule. But I have to admit my 29 year old daughter refuses to look at them.

Ummmm! I don't think I am allowed to play with those.

I'd love to get one of those internally supressed barrels for my 10/22. That and some subsonic HP's would definitely be a blast! There are CB rounds that fire with no powder....they cruise at about 500fps if I recall correctly. They're still plenty loud and have some soot out the barrel. Enough that you shouldn't shoot them around the neighborhood.

Class III goodies gentlemen..If you can legally own a handgun you can legally own full auto,supressors,and SBR's.Just gotta jump thru a couple of hoops first.These are the things Im talking about.

The raccoon story reminded me of a rooster I shot many years ago. I still get teased about it.

When I was in college (eons ago), I lived just outside of Austin on 50 acres that my Aunt owned and rented to me and my best friend. One fall morning I was laying in bed reading a book. It was cool outside, so I had the ceiling fan on low...and a 6' wide sliding glass door to the back porch open.

My (Lab/Dalmation mix) dog jumped up on the porch to eat the food I had put out for him, when all of the sudden a rooster that I owned (a big silver spangled hamburg) raced over and attacked him. He spurred my dog that I had raised from a pup.. just below the eye (as I was to find out).

My dog, startled from the attack.. jumped down from the porch leaving the rooster standing beside his feed bowl. Something about the incident so enraged me....that I picked up my .45 off the bedside table, sat up straight in the bed and "double tapped" that rooster off the back porch!

Amazingly, the thing was still alive and flopping around even though one of the shots had hit it squarely through the breast (hardball ammo). My best friend never missed the opportunity to point out to visitors the two holes in the screen, and to recount his thoughts about being awakened to the sound of gunfire.

I still think my reasoning was sound though: I could replace the rooster for .50 cents, my dogs eye could not be replaced if this were to happen again. But, I must admit none of that went though my mind at the time, I was just mad at that crazy rooster for attacking my dog.

So, roosters......beware!

Thanks for the link.
