When I lived in town I used subsonic ammo in my Marlin .22. They were a little too loud in my Ruger 10-22 but for some reason Marlin semi-autos keep them quiet. They're basically primer-only shorts, and they're as quiet as a pellet gun with a little more power. They'll go through a rabbit at 20 yards but they won't go through a garage door. Don't ask.
The semi-auto was quieter because some of the gas/energy/noise was ported to cycle the action. Kind of like how a turbo exhaust is quieter.
Jungle Julia showed me that video last night, and we both remarked: " What is he doing? There's no way he's going to stop a gorirra like that." Now Yup, I'm still here, not in lockup; I check on this place every day, but I rarely get the opportunity to post anything most of the time. I'll try to contribute more frequently. The problem is that these days I'm usually viewing the site with my phone, and I can't post/ navigate as well as I can with a PC, plus the fact that I can't be on my phone at work.
Would you kindly post the particulars of your weaponry and also opine on whether this setup wouild be effective on coyotes.
The pellet gun would not at all be adequate for coyotes. At least the one that I have. It’s only 500 ft/s, in .177,which is plenty good enough for squirrels and chipmunks and skunks. Not good with raccoons. You can get higher velocity pellet guns that’ll do 1200 ft/s, in .25, which seems much better suited.
I have an old Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun that was passed down to me from my dad that I use to shoot at the skunks and intruders to my yard. It scares the shit outta them and just keeps them away from the porch/deck while allowing them to scavenge up the stuff I want gone. I may need to look to “upgrade” after seeing y’all armory. Also. This is the way to go when marinating ribs. I’ve always done my own “recipe” but this is legit. Anything Salt Lick is amazing.
Thing is, you’re just pranking yourself along with your target in a confined space. The stuff desolated all oxygen and replaces it with Lucifer’s septic tank. 100% pue, uncut Colombian feces. That’s what it smells like. Try it and n a dance floor. You’ll clear it like it was on fire.
Took a home defense pistol class yesterday. Lady in the class pointed the prop gun at me 3 times without thinking. I thought the instructor was going to kill her.
Just don't go south of your border, you get smoked for showing them off to random ladies you meet at motels.
Is it crazy that the second thing that came to mind was what colossal dicks the camera car were? That was some pretty catastrophic failure that car suffered... and knowing the time/money that was probably into it (even if it wasn't done exactly properly), and the fact that they seemed to be driving a muscle car themselves, you'd think they'd feel some sort of empathy. Instead, they just drove away laughing their asses off.
Definitely huge dicks. I don't think I know anyone who's into cars that would just drive by and laugh. Whoever was in the camera vehicle probably has never turned a wrench in their life.
