It was one shot to the heart with an Underwood Ammunition 32 ACP +P 55 Grain Lehigh Xtreme Defender load, so by the time I got to the carcass it was already skinned (by the hydraulic shock wave) and the hide stretched out and halfway dried.

Please> Tell a whopper of your own but involving a mousegun (.380 or smaller).

Bonus points if its one you really own, and you show pix.

One time a guy wrote in all bold...

So i shot him with a .380 or smaller caliber firearm

I shot a man in Reno with my Jennings J-22 just to watch him die

A few years ago, I shot a 0.277” group at 500 yards with my Browning A-Bolt Medallion in 270 Winchester.



It only took me one round to do it.

I remember an episode of NYPD Blue where they said a victim's heart was 'blown up' from being shot with a .380 ...

I have a Walther PP in .32 specifically for the people I REALLY hate. I figure a shot or two from that and I will give them a nasty itch and infection.

I like to carry my North American Arms 22 short where anything but a deep cavity search wouldn't find it. I know a 22 short isn't much on the personal protection scale, but I found the 22 magnum version was too slow to draw.

When I was a sniper, I once used the wind to curve a bullet in flight and hit a Tango who was hiding behind a building.* It blew his head clean off, too.

And, oh yeah: It was with a 25 Auto; the velocity and ballistic coefficient of a more powerful projectile would have been too great to allow the 57.6 mph wind from 2:37 o’clock to deflect the bullet enough to score the hit.





And the 357 SIG ammunition? That’s what the pistol is chambered for now. I had it converted after taking out that Tango with the 25 so it would have a greater effective range.

*[Truly, that’s what General Stanley McChrystal said snipers could do:
“Adept marksmen can harness the wind to curve bullets around buildings and strike targets from a mile out.”
— Team of Teams (New York: Portfolio / Penguin, 2015), 93.]

Ok. True story.

1000 rounds through a target with my 25 ACP colt.

During the war, I used to tie prisoners against a tree stacked front to back and shoot them with my Keltech P-30 22 WMR to see how many it would go through. Record was 7, plus all the way through the oak tree.

They will have black bear hunts in Missouri starting next year. I'm going to Home Depot and buy me a new 2x4.

I ring steel all day long at 1000 yards, sub MOA, with my Browning BDA 380, if I do my part.

I shot a field mouse one time while deer hunting with my .30 carbine Marlin Levermatic and it completely skinned him but left his body intact. It hung his little hide up on a branch about a foot away. Quite a sight!

I used a Beretta 950 in .22 short to shoot pigeons.
But... Its true!

I have .32ACP Glasers loaded in my Beretta 81 with a hand-smoothed trigger because I've seen monkeys burst into flames when hit with those rounds at sixty yards. But they're really flexible, too. I was standing outside a biker clubhouse once, just eating a tuna fish sandwich, when a drugged-up biker came out of the front door and a drugged-up biker came out of the side door. They must've seen my Classic Schwinn Stingray t-shirt, because both immediately reached for their waistbands for what I was forced to presume were .44 Magnums. I only had time for one shot, so I shot the corner of the clubhouse where I knew there'd be titanium rebar just beneath the surface of the stucco and hit it just right - half the pellets went left and struck the biker who'd come out of the front door right through the left eye, and half went right to go through the right eye of the biker who came out the side door. When the cops arrived, they wanted to know where the 12 guage shotgun was that I used to take them both out!

I was born to live by the gun......

Well ... to be fair it was a rocket-assisted hollowpoint ...

Baiting with bread crumbs?

They were on the support beams of a highway overpass. The ricochets were a bitch!

What was it that Q told 007 about the Walther PPK - "7.65mm - stopping power like a brick through a wind screen"
