the RK in Niles?

A custom potatoe gun with rifled bore, and an Aimpoint H1 and Surefire G2 mounted on it.

Ooooh, tactical spud gun!

 

[fisherg]

ok so I tried the airsoft loads

 

[fisherg]

they worked well, no about 50 feet of good energy but no penetration of steel

 

[fisherg]

I meant 50 feet with no pentration of steel

I have a 12 gauge reloader. I really should make some popcorn shells to try out. Glad to hear the airsoft pellets are working.

A couple of "sockco paddles". Always worked for my mom. Shee had to do it several times but it worked.

the person who loaded them for me said a friend of his want to see what the arisoft bb's would feel like.... My friend declined...

How about a pressure washer and a long wand, it'll take the birds out of the rafters and clean the barn at the same time.

I'd go with a pellet gun or the CCI 22 shorts (29 grain) that are rated at 710 fps. I've chronographed those at around 700 from an 18 inch Henry rifle and in the 500fps range from a 5 inch single action revolver. Be careful though because they do tend to bounce.

my accuracy is always in question, the scatter gun gives me a better chance of hitting what I'm shooting at

Yep, $7.95 for a box of 50 rounds two weeks ago when I bought them.

So you need to hit the broadside of a barn, from the inside? Sounds like you need an AK47.

Popcorn kernels are meant to work quite well for this purpose. Never done it myself, but my wife's uncle told me about it and I thought it was an interesting idea.

Oh, I bet that would work pretty good. My Grandpa was known for making up shot shells full of soybeans to pursued some animals to avoid his barn lot. Kind of a farm version of the rubber crowd control rounds.

CB shorts will go through a tin roof. They're still going something like 700fps.
