Could you imagine a full-auto 44-40 or maybe even a full-auto 45-70 for squirrels? :devilish:
The term "overkill" comes to mind. :LOL: A good semi-auto .22 long is all you need.

When I was in around second grade we were collecting a side of beef, as well as doing a dove hunt, at a friend's ranch. Saw some squirrels and a couple of the guys thought they might get some for a pot of dumplings later. Had a squirrel in a tree, about 15 feet up at most, and one of the guys (probably around 14 or 15) had a Savage-Stevens over/under .22/410g and forgot to set the hammer right. Cleaned the squirrel with one shot - poor thing. Not enough left to do much with him. Didn't see many others around, so I think we gave that up fried up some chickens instead - we took the dove back home. I had a bolt action Savage-Stevens 410g and my dad had thought I'd done it, but even at that age, I knew better than to shoot a squirrel that close with bird shot. :ROFLMAO:

I think the actual sayer of it has a percussion cap below. :LOL:
Are you familiar with "parlor pistols"? They used a percussion cap and a .17cal pellet or round ball - just slightly smaller than the standard .177 used in air pistols and rifles now. Of course, .17cal is also used for "varmint guns" these days and actually packs a little bit of a punch for its size. I've got a .177cal Benjamin pellet pistol that's a ton of fun, and with which I've taken out a few rats & voles. ;)

It's a line Mary Sue utters after her brother questions her using a full auto 30-06 B.A.R. 1916 to kill squirrels.
Would love to run a BAR sometime. This also makes Grump's statement accurate since Mary Sue has a clitoris, not a penis. So, yeah - it all tracks!

I think this custom environment for Extra Credit is going to be the best one I've built so far for my games. I am extremally proud of this one.

I might get back to work next week. I think I just need to pace myself better. A little rest than work.

You need a healthy work/life balanced routine.

Every 100 images, drink a pabst tallboy (they're 473ml - for the rest of the world), cut off the top, go shoot a squirrel (just don't be a pussy and use a .22), stuff its carcass tail first into the can, then use the big spud gun I just know you'll have to launch the can onto a neighbors property. When they find them they'll think it's hilarious.

Heck, the game's fiction, Starwars' Death Star isn't big enough for Mary Sue, give her the Vang trilogies' Starhammer, obliterate entire solar systems with each shot, sterilise all life, proto-life, intracellular parasites, organic precursors. (These books inspired Halo, but the Starhammer got everything including the Vang(Flood), while Halos had a bigger AOE they only got sentients/food and wouldn't do fuck all to squirels.)
