cocpops 19 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 In USA they rarely advocate going for head shots ! Which I find odd all the videos on utube are pretty lame shooting good guns and the norm is body shots. That said they're FAC but why not go for head shots ? Quote Link to post

RemyBolt 420 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I shoot both .22 and .177, I prefer .22 for ratting and .177 for rabbits. Reason being...I'm crap at sneaking up on rabbits, and rats just come out to the bait. The increased accuracy over the extra 5 meters for .177 is helpful, but the sound of a .22 on a rat is just beautiful. Using a .177 for a rat doesn't have the same *THUNK* sound as a .22 does. Going to be trying a spot of ratting with a .177 pistol soon! Exciting!!!! Edited March 3, 2015 by RemyBolt 1 Quote Link to post

I describe that sound with my HW100 as "click-clunk" Going to be trying a spot of ratting with a .177 pistol soon! Exciting!!!! Best of luck with that! Get them in really close... and even then be prepared for a lot of "tumblers" (They are the rats that roll up into a furry ball and tumble off at high speed into the scenery due to a non-fatal shot). Unless you are a heck of a lot better at pistol shooting than I am. 3 Quote Link to post
