And only Americans have "fishing guns"....

[Churchill]

a .22 is easily powerful enough to kill somebody with decent ammo. They used .22 rifles in WW2 FFS and they killed enough people....

Yeah but you're forgetting the American Ethos - "We need a bigger gun!!!"

[Ardesco]

Ok all you armchair heroes, read the article and you'll find out why the .22 didn't kill the burglar.



With fresh ammo, he would've killed him.

"He was victimized by old ammunition," he said, "just as he was in Korea and again in Vietnam, when his units were issued ammo left over from World War II."

With fresh ammo, he would've killed him.

22 wasnt big enough for the head shot. Had he gone for the chest or a disaling shot to a limb or even a nasty gut shot the job would have been done. A 45 or an eagle is too much gun though it WILL do the job. The problem as stated is where the bullt goes after.
He should have taken his saturday night special. It would have done the job and the bullet would have stopped in the perps skull.

he could just have fired all 6 in the guy...

I remember my dad telling me once of a time he went rabbit shooting in Scotland, before he moved to Oregon. He was walking along with his 12 bore double barrel and all of a sudden saw a rabbit out of the corner of his eye...he turned round and gave it both barrels....he said there was no real meat left on the rabbit...made me larf!!!

I'd have said go for a shotgun. Low velocity to avoid collateral damage and a better chance of hitting the target

That's going to leave a nasty mess in the hallway.

Yeah, you could've hit more fish.

I would agree with the use of a bigger gun if there was no risk of the bullet that killed the guy (because thats what you're all saying) also injuring or killing an innocent bystander.

[daviejones]

Yeah, I would have used a bigger gun. What the hell is a "fishing gun" anyway? He would have more luck with a fishing rod IMO...
