Only if you can see the results in slow motion, then it looks brilliant, otherwise all happening to fast, with a pistol at approx. 1300f/sec. With my .223 2750f/sec.

The scary thing about that link is that there are so many links to other videos about guns vs. watermelons. I'm just a little paranoid now about being invaded by watermelons.....

Could have left them both for fox rescue, NSW has that, they are considered furry cuddly and cute animals in that state, not vermin like in every other state, so now you will have fox rescue down on you. Not sure there is enough left to make a hat. :lol:

:lol: I read recently where the SFP have got the minister to declare them a pest species and has given those who have them as pets a week or 2 to get a special one off permit to keep what they have but they can't breed them or get anymore, once they die the permits finished and none will be reissued.

So it looks like common sense has prevailed in the end!

What about a high velocity .223 or .204 into an empty beer can filled with water?

Flattens em right out for recycling.

Glad you posted that using an "empty beer can" one can never be to careful. What's the point of recycling, you have had the contents. :lol:

Eggs are another good one for the 22 fans, always a good challenge hitting em at 100m or so.

Potatoes are good with the 22 too because you can get up to 10 shots out of one target

We used to camp on a river and get someone to go upstream and float eggs down so we could shoot them with a 22. We were only about 20 metres back but the eggs moving and bobbing with the current was good practice for moving targets

The water bobbing's a clever idea for moving practice.

Props.
