[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2615101, member: 109862"] On the one hand I’m like “why not just use a rifle, literally any rifle, and do a better job with a more powerful and accurate tool appropriate for the job” but then I remember we don’t lecture each other abojt ethics on here, or at least we’re not supposed to and we gave our word we wouldn’t when we Agreed to the forum terms and conditions upon joining…I want to be a man of my word haha. But more importantly I’m thinking about what a dang 50 cal, or 45, or heck even 36 caliber ROUND BALL has been demonstrated to do throughout history and how many deer have been smoked with arrows, spears, .22s, etc… and I realize there’s no way it’s gonna be that unethical if shot in the chest with a 45 caliber anything haha. Probably best not to use round nose fmj ball ammo, but honestly even that should open up two good size holes at least. Ever watch vids of ballistics gel tests with old cap and ball type loadings? A primitive chunk of lead going at subsonic velocity penetrates in a way that just makes no sense. But it does! [/QUOTE]
