Just don't let the cop catch you shooting that cat with a marble. I won't lock this, but I'm just trying to say, there's a difference between hunting deer and killing a cat.judgment_arms wrote:Drac, nobody was talking about deer hunting, they were talking about hunting small game, cats are small, and pests/varmints.
Now as I’ve explained before, a lot of these home-made arms have more power than most BB/pellet guns, the bigger projectile lending more knockdown force. In other words, its more “humane” to shoot a cat with a marble fired at 600FPS than BB fired at the same velocity. And 600FPS is neither an uncommon nor hard to achieve velocity.
I was told by another modd, BC pneumatics, that it was okay to talk about hunting.Here’s the topic that this came from if you don’t believe me: linkBC Pneumatics wrote:This is okay by me, as long as these 'arms' are based off of pneumatics or combustion principles, and are of sufficient power to bring down the intended game. (Again, no pointlessly painful ass-shots.)...judgment_arms wrote:...If I wanted to talk about hunting in general I would go to another forum, but I wish to talk about home-made hunting arms, and the use of such devises.
I believe that the reaper rifle has sufficient power to bring down the intended game, I’ve seen pics of some of his kills, they’re nice clean center mass shots, I believe that the crow thing died faster than some of the deer that I’ve seen shot by a .30-06! I call that humane!
As a side note:
Most bows shoot arrows at. I believe, 300FPS. A spud gun could easily shoot an arrow at 600FPS, there for; it’s more “humane” to shoot a deer with a spud gun than a bow.
Also it more “humane” to shoot a deer with a .50-110 than a .308 as the .50-110 is a much more powerful round. But a deer can be taken with a .223.
Edit:
Don’t lock the topic, if you feel you must do something just delete my post.
I'm gonna withdraw from this topic, no use in posting about something gets on my nerves as much as this does.
