I shot at a plastic milk bottle at about 5 yards. 3 pellets went in and rest sprayed the area. Brno mod 2. Then put a balloon up about 15 yards away. Took 3 shots to hit it. Personally I think it's a great idea but they were useless through my barrel. Fun tho ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Best used in smoothbore .22lr's - effective on Rats to about 15 yards but no more - we used to use them in Barns along with a 9mm semi auto shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil23 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Very very loud around barns though so if you don't hit them you might even deffin them to death haha..still got neely a full box of about 8 year ago. As above you need a smooth bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
