Well, there was a fly on the target paper and my .308 Win with its Shilen Select match barrel, 155 grain Sierras over 46 grains of Varget, CCI BR4 primer and zeroed to the range. 24x scope so I could see it all. Never did see the fly after the impact but there was a funky colored smudge next to the bullet hole.
At 200 yards, that bullet was moving at 2400 FPS so figure about 2000 ft*lbs of energy at target. A fly weighs about 0.0007 pounds. In terms of energy to target weight, this should win. Not as impressive as that 4.2" mortar at 1500 meters but still impressive. Off the bench, my .308 consistenly is a 1/8 MOA rifle. |

Three shots from a .35cal Marlin to kill a red squiirel who had ruined my hunting by following me around making "alarm" noises all day.
One frog and two snapping turtles with an 8mm FN49....just because.... |

I remember reading a thread where a guy said he dispatched several head of cattle with a bushmaster 25mm chaingun from a Bradley.

Patty *ETA* We really need to get a NW Coyote shoot together, these things are thicker than flies.

Squirrel at approximately 3 feet away with 12 guage #4. I did'nt think the squirrel would evaporate like it did.

I once killed a rabbit (no shit) with an 1851 navy repro .36 cal.
It barely killed it. I thought I was going to have to beat it to death. It did finally die and yes rabbit does kinda taste like chicken. |

Anyone remember that website of a guy who ambushed deer with a full-sized black powder cannon loaded with grape shot? He hid his identity, because he knew how utterly illegal and unsportsmanlike doing this was. I think he was from Wisconsin.

A bumblebee with a .45ACP Hydra Shok hollow point. I was actually practicing at the range, but I noticed a lot of bugs were out, including a few bumblebees. One of them started to hover right in my line of fire, so I aimed and shot the fat little fucker.

When I were a 'yute I stunned a jackrabbit with a slingshot and, not knowing what to do with him, stuck an M80 under him. Hilarious at the time, not so funn-aw fuck it-it was pretty hilarious!

Once used a 12ga shotgun (birdshot) to blow away a beetle that touched my sandwich.
Point blank of course. Let's just say that bug's never going to bother anyone every again. Left nothing but a 2 inch crater in the ground. |

AK on a squirrel. 12 gauge 00 buck on squirrels.
I think the best splats are from handgun HP's, like flying ashtrays on a squirrel made ti burst like a water balloon, and a 110 grain corbon .357 totally misted the grouse I hit with it. |
