    Oh WHY do people frown so on high power rifles in the suburbs?! :lol:

    I have a woodchuck in the back yard. I looked out the porch door just now and there he was, standing up in a classic "shoot me" pose, at only 30 feet range!

    Shit, I could'a taken him down with my compact 9mm for that matter!

    I bounced a 5-shot burst from my full-auto airsoft P-90 off his tummy, just to satisfy my inner varminter.

    He scampered.

    Yeah, they have about as much power as a .22 short.

    Yeah, but not as surely as a .22. He's a big 'un.

    Hm. My Uncle's old gallery rifle takes .22 LR and, being a long-barrel pump, it's fairly quiet.

    Hm. Yeah, I took a test shot out the back door at a stump. It pretty mcuh sounded like a gunshot that echoed throughout the neighborhood. Never mind. :lol:

    You wasted your one chance on a stump? You should have saved it for the woodchuck.
