I was just looking at an old Sportman's Guide catalog before tossing it in

might be a nice way to practice pulling the trigger and get some short range

use it in an auto.

The thing though is they advertise it for pest control. *Seems to me for

Not even considering the PCP guns. *How does this 209 primer propelled ..22
pellet compare to a pellet fired out of a pellet gun?

Growing up in the 1960s we would use a CB 22 cartage which was a 22
short bullet and a primer. It was quit a bit more powerful than my
Crossman 760 pump but not as powerful as my Sheraton 5 mm pump.

Gentlemen Farmer I work with is reports killing Coyotes with 22 spring
gun shooting heavy pellets. Coyotes were in the hen house.
