Hehe, fragmentation bullets. Probably what I call bird-shot.
Better than just using those is your rifle:
Mine is a fully-automatic, pintle-mounted, gas-operated .22 rifle.
It's belt-fed design reduces the number of reloads I have to perform.
At 650 rounds per minute, it can lay twenty feet of my yard to waste
in less than one second.
Since I live in the woods, there are a lot of rats outside. Using 32
motion detectors (of course, mounted behind 4-gauge steel mini-
bunkers) the gun knows where to shoot... or at least the general
area. Anything cat-sized or bigger is generally ignored. So far no
people have been shot.
How do I keep the barrel from melting, you ask? I'm using an American
Gun Barrel Company model F-446. The Tetraphenylborate-treated steel
is not only 20x as thick as a regular gun barrel but discharges heat
faster than brake pads.
This may be overdoing it, but combined with my mothballs, beer bottles
protruding from my tree and voo-doo dolls shaped like various vermin,
my rodent population is greatly reduced.
