I R MORON

I did read Bamse.

 

Det var ju även en variant.


And no, I don't read Bamse. Thing is, I don't read comics at all.

 

What was your first clue?

 

It could be a research hospital. In which case we're all just lab rats.

 

And we're the ones building the maze!

 

Yes we all got a laugh out of them fighting until they started to beat the shit out of our Aussie boxers, hence why we had to employ foreign boxers who could actually box. And as for their killings, my boss's brother was killed a few years back, had his guts completely torn out and puncture marks in his back from a 7 foot Red Kangaroo.

 

I'm not saying they can't kill people. I'm just saying that I'd use a Barrett .50 calibur sniper rifle. I doubt that many kangaroos are able to disembowel a person who's 2.2 miles away.

 

True they cannot but they are tough bastards. Sometimes we have 2 rifles fire at them the same time which basically disembowels them. Then they sometimes only die with a final bullet to the head.

 

You must not know how much stopping power there is in a bullet that's 12.7 x 99mm in dimension. I'm sure that a single shot from the .50 calibur Barrett would rip a 'roo in half.

Any lesser rifle...I can agree with you. Hell, my grandpa told me about one of his friends in the navy who's stomach was ripped open with shrapnel from an exploding Zero. He was running around trying to gather up his intestines for about six minutes, and got really pissed when the doctors told him they couldn't get them all back in.

 

"rip a 'roo"

A barrage of hollow-point rounds should also do the trick neatly. Kangaroo-killing-wise, I mean.

 

Better use bullets with altered mass center (not sure how it's trnslated from Russian)

 

Expandable bullet. It's a bullet with several slits down the length of the slug, and it's tipped with an inverted screw that is forced down its length with the coupled rotation of the bullet, along with the pressure at its front on impact. The screw travelling through the slug splits the bullet along the cuts down its length, and widens it forming blades. The rotation causes extensive internal damage to soft targets. I think this is what you mentioned, Sofokl.
Also, "The rear end of the bullet is provided with a cavity which balances the bullet longitudinally and provides a volume to permit the rear portion of the bullet to expand when the screw is threaded therethrough."

Sort of the latest in dum-dum technology, then?

I remember my uncle carving a + on the nose of .22 bullets for shooting water fowl. He stopped doing that when eating his first kill, since the round had shattered and deposited small pieces of lead all through the poor avian critter. A shotgun does the trick much better. (As long as we're talking smallish birds and not 'roos.)

 

Maybe. Advantage "extensive internal damage" you have mentioned exactly applies to those bullets.

 

The only problem with killing game birds with shotguns is that you fill them full of pellets. Eat the pellets in the meat and when you take a dump you actually hear the clang on the bottom of the toilet. Hard to flush as well...
