dusk2dawn Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 IMO you should scrap the idea and get hold of a full powered air rifle, you will do a lot of harm and might cause suffering using an underpowered weapon at any range. As I said just my opinion. D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 It can pierce water bottles at about 6 meters with normal pellets. You must get through a lot of hot water bottles then, as you said you were going to use your shotgun, when/if you get one, with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the mods don't pull this post (and I wouldn't blame them if they did) Reading this and your other posts I am going to say what I'm sure 99% of PW members are thinking - Either you are taking the **** or you're too stupid to own a spud gun let alone any sort of firearm. Good Luck in anything you wish to do in the future but I hope it's nothing to do with any form of hunting. Mr Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salisburykeeper Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I have a foolproof method of ensuring that you can get a clean kill with that gun, first of all find a good place in the hedgerow close to where the rabbits come out or pigeons fly in, then wait until the first rabbit or pigeon comes close, then carefully line the sight onto the quarry, at this point quickly spin the gun round holding it by the barrel and throw it at the rabbit as hard as you can! if you miss, dont worry you could always have a nice water bottle for your lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy bunny blaster Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 wait out in your car on a country road . if you see a rabbit up ahead start it quickly turn the lights on and shine it, then give it full speed ahead could be more effective than your hot water bottle hunting spud gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
