In reply to Darkman. I still use .22 Short to dispatch rabbits and ground squirrels in my back yard. I might look into these CBs.

In reply to Geoff "I'm getting too old for this shit" PR. That 'sounds' like a helluva lotta fun!

In reply to Geoff "I'm getting too old for this shit" PR. Sounds ideal for bull frog hunting. We used 22 shorts back in the day

In reply to Hush. Having killed 100s of bull fogs with 22 shorts back in the day. Frog farts were louder.

In reply to Hush.

Back when I had my Ruger .44 mag Superedhawk, I used to shoot flies on my back porch and knock over empty 12 oz. aluminum cans with primed .44 mag brass and an expanding earplug jammed in there as a bullet.

It just mad a ‘Bonk’ sound when firing, great fun! 😉

I’ve had some of that ammo for over 30 years (mine is by CCI, and they call it CB cap), and Jeremy S. (who may, or may not have, spoken in class today) is right, it uses no gunpowder, using just the primer compound in the rim as the propellant.

In a rifle-length barrel, energy delivered downrange is on par with a single-pump pellet rifle or a spring-powered BB gun, like the Daisy ‘Red Rider’. Not a lot, but I still would not want to get shot by it (it will literally ‘put your eye out, kid’). I’d call it mouse or small rat ammo…

How long does one have to listen to determine the volume of a frog’s fart?
Perhaps a gastroenterologist would know.

Probably frog farts are louder.
A gnat fart is perhaps a better description.
