IMO the best way to handle a looter is with a shotgun loaded with some #4 buckshot. One shot to the head and their brains are jello and that is plenty effective. Tip, if your shooting a pump keep about 10 lbs. of tension on the forearm so it comes slamming back as soon as the gun is fired and the bolt unlocks. Remember to bounce the slide off that full back position and slam it home and you can get 2 hits within 0.2 second.

BTW, if you take up Shooting Skeet after about a year of weekly practice you'll be proficient enough with a shotgun that a head shot is a 100% certainty at any distance under 15 yards. You'll also be at the point where you can reliably hit the pairs at stations 1 and 7. Which means you'll have the skill to hit two separate targets about as quickly as you can clap your hands twice.
