I figured I would snap a pic and start a discussion thread here since I know there more than a few dogs who are familiar with the ~.22 caliber "pea shooter" firearms. I also wanted to emphasize the use of air rifles, slingshots, heavy duty squirt guns, or just having a really wicked rock throwing arm. I think these tools may get overlooked a bit when it comes to all of the hyper tactical info we may come find on othe gear forums. I think most of us can appreciate the honest and practical approach to gear that our community seems to adhere to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The reason this thread came to mind... I was over at my folks house yesterday and noticed a couple squirrels out having a great time in the back yard trees. I will usually see one or two out there during the day when I'm over so no big deal. I pay them very little mind but I know sooner or later they make a big mess of something. Every couple years or so I have a minute to kill (nice pun) and notice a pile of crap at the doorway so I'll grab my pellet gun and sooner or later knock one off. So yesterday I see two of them and it's no big deal and would usually forget about them until the mess shows up somewhere. But just before I turn around, in the corner of my eye I notice more movement. Two more of them! And sure enough another one runs up to join in on the fun!! Five fairly nice sized squirrels "justa" plucking away at the the trees. So five is just way too many!

So out comes the tools! 10/22 (maybe) and a Marksman 0035 with cheapo air rifle scope. Hope they enjoyed the romp! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

and here's my 2 pea shooters...


I would love to see what you guys are using and get a discussion going about air rifles and whatever else seems to "get the job done". Ive been thinking about even adding a slingshot or two to the collection.

Maybe the zombies will actually be really slow and it would just require a bit daily plinking to keep the driveway clear. We should be prepared.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
