Sup /k/ommandos. I used a .22 to put down our house rabbit of 12 years last wednesday, Ava. It was my first time putting down an animal and I wanted to share the experience and hopefully help someone else out who's not sure about how or if to make the same decision.

First, I view it as an owner's responsibility to ease their pet's passing. I didn't think so, and someone on /k/ argued the point with me successfully. I changed my mind. He was right. I'd want to pass in a familiar place with familiar smells and familiar people, not in some clinic with a stranger and a loved one
telling me everything was normal and fine and not to worry. I also have my doubts about the painlessness of the euthanization process. I think it's more targeted to make the passing appear peaceful to others than completely painless to the patient, but I digress...

A lot changed in 12 years. Six moves, including a cross country trip (pic related), and two kids. She was a rescue and was at least one year old when we got her, so she was by rabbit standards extremely old. After the kids, we confined her to a section of the living room, before she had run of the house. Rabbits litter train and
play with cat toys, so she previously had lots to do. With the kids and with her age, not so much. I'd been getting the feeling for a long time, and when we saw some red on her blanket, we checked her.

I don't want to go into detail, but we knew she was in pain and it was her time. It pains me to say, it was probably past her time.

I looked up a rabbit bisection to locate the brain and looked up humane methods of elimination. My wife gave me a number to a 24 hour vet who I called and wanted around $200 to put her to sleep. I explained my idea, and the arguments the /k/ommando had given, and she understood. The fact that I've been unemployed for most of the last few months also meant we could not afford it even if we wanted to.

The decision was made, but how?

Called a call to a fellow /k/ommando and asked about shooting a .22 safely indoors. After some prodding I just told him what I was doing. He said to get a 5 gallon bucket, put two shovels of dirt in it, put the rabbit in it, and put two shots in the rabbit. He said all this tactfully, of course. Said it was the
cleanest way to do it, and not to let my wife see. Recommended a .22 rifle to let more powder burn and get the additional velocity. His suggestions were pragmatic and about logistics. The goals were a clean kill, safe shooting indoors, not alerting the neighbors, and easy cleanup and transport. Good advice.

I agonized over the .22 (in b4 ammo prices, ya bastards). The damned G22 wouldn't eject in dry function, though I didn't remember any issues during live fire. I didn't want to risk botching the first shot, and having to clear a jam to get the next shot. I had an old bolt gun that I'd tested with CB caps that I knew
to be as quiet as a handclap, but needing two hands for a possible second shot worried me. I practiced working the bolt but it just felt so slow when I considered the possibility of a suffering rabbit thrashing around. The Buckmark was a natural choice, but less barrel meant more unburnt powder, noise, and less
velocity. And while I could shoot the wings off a gnat with the thing I was still afraid I'd somehow flub the shot by jerking or flinching last second.

The duty fell to the 10/22. I loaded it with Remington .22lr subsonics, which I figured would be a medium between full powered Federal and a Super Colibri or some kind of CB cap. I removed the banana assault clipazine and dug out the factory rotary mag. Loaded two, then one more just in case. Dry tested ejection and loading. Effortless and perfect. As usual.

The bucket already had some gravel in it from being slated as a target stand when I got another bag of concrete, so the dirt was not necessary. There was only about 4 inches of gravel, but I figured it would be
enough. I got some of her blankets and lined the inside of the bucket with them to make it more familiar and comfortable. One I hung half way out, realizing I would want to be able to fold the flap over her.

She got in the bucket easily. She felt so skinny. She was still big. Not sure if that comes across in the pictures. Bigger than a small dog. Not those idioticly tiny designer breeds, a regular small dog. She was
still pretty vertical in the bucket, but started nuzzling down and burrowing her head down to get comfortable. I'm almost positive she would have just given up the ghost given the proper burrow.

I carried her downstairs to my shop room off the garage with the 10/22 and Buckmark in reserve. Both safeties off. Didn't even want her to hear the metallic click of a safety.

I scratched and stroked her head as the foam earplugs expanded. She just rested her chin on the edge of the bucket. She felt tired. So tired. I paused to put the earmuffs on, doubling up because my hearing was
already bad enough. I resumed stroking with my right hand and I held the 10/22 in the left pointed almost straight down at her. As she closed her eyes and relaxed the muzzle touched her forehead, right where her
brain was. I needed to watch. I couldn't bear the idea of her moving at the last minute and missing the shot.

The sound was familiar. It was like when I shot Appleseed at an outdoor range. Good berming let most of the sound escape. I only needed earplugs then, and the only noise the rifle made was CLICK! Same noise.

CLICK!

The deed was done, and I felt some slight twitching with my right hand. Her right eye had popped out of its socket. Another, just to be sure.

CLICK!

A little further back from the first. I moved the rifle away and put my hand over her head where the shots were, it was very hot, so I moved back to her neck and shoulders to feel for movement.

The twitching came in waves, and seemed to get stronger. It had to be nerves. She couldn't possibly be feeling anything, but I didn't expect it to last this long. I grabbed the top flap blanket to put it over
her, just as she- it-- began to rise as the rear leg muscles extended. No upper body movement, just a dead rabbit jack in the box. I quickly shoved the blanket over the top, and held down as I shoved the muzzle
of the Buckmark down into the blanket, wondering if using it would do anything at this point.

After a while, no idea how long, the twitching became a slight vibration, then stopped. I pulled part of the blanket back and felt skin to see if there was any motion at all. Nothing.

Wife was upstairs putting the kids to bed, reported hearing nothing.

I didn't lose it until the drive to work the next day. Bawling at 80 mph in the rain. Mainly about the fact that I should have done it earlier and was too stuck in denial and avoidance to realize she was in pain.
Since then I've thought about it a lot, and worked a few things out in my head that have made me realize I made the right choices.

The reason her head was hot was because the muzzle contact meant the gases vented mostly into her cranium. I wondered whether her brain had enough fluid for hydrostatic shock to completely destroy it. With almost
all the gas entering her skull, it was basically a small bomb going off in her head. Her brain was destroyed before the bullet exited her skull. The second shot was not necessary.

Later model from when the design and tooling were sold to Para. Apparently they were pretty shit. Haven't been able to pin a cause on the problems. The only thing I can guess is the thing being overgassed.

The company got bought out at the wrong time. Considering what they were they were priced higher than other piston ARs.

But it's not a piston AR.

Well, no more than any other AR-15.

What are your thoughts on guns in video games/sci-fi? I like it when the designers take the effort to make them look practical, but sometimes they're stupidly bad. For example, Halo has some actually cool designs, and some not so good.

Big revolvers aren't as interesting to me. Magnum-power autos are kind of a strange little subset of shooting.

if you plan on shooting kind of close like with pistols, id pay more and get a steel from a known company.
if youre shooting at it with a rifle at 200 yards, id take a chance. it seems like this is steel more for the former, so i'd pass

The process has nothing to do with quality. There are good and poor quality MIM parts all over the place (S&W and Sig generally good, Kimber and Walther generally bad). Also unless it specifically says otherwise, ALL bolt catches are some form of casting or injection molding. It's too expensive to mill or forge such a complex part. That's why nearly all steel bolt catches have that same bumpy texture.

So again, the quality control and material selection matter more than anything else, not where it's made or what process is used.

Also why would my bolt catch wear externally? Flesh is 10,000 times softer than metal, and I don't sling my rifle often.

u getin cray son, don't be like these nosigs and nofreedomgroups talking shit about strange things.

for concealed carry or just to have at home?

because there is absolutely no sound excuse to stash a tiny compact pistol at home that you never CC unless absolutely nothing else will do.

i wouldn't recommend any of these per se, i'd recommend the gun that fits in your hand correctly.

Ok /k/, I need your guys' help. I live in southern california and I am a multiple gun owner. There are hundreds of thousands of people just like me in CA, but we have no voice.

I want to do a 1 million gun march on the city of Sacramento to protest the recent gun legislation. I need ideas for fliers, how to recruit gun owners, and when to do it.

Thanks

Your best bet is to take a million people and go physically remove him from office. Your state is beyond repair.

>>32750401
Facebook. Not /k. California state gun forums (there's one that I just can't think of the name of.) Contact the local nra people and see if they have resources available. Or any rights group. Take any help that you can and start your own rights group if you have the time. Once you have the ball rolling see if your local republicans (are there any?) want to pitch in. Be friendly to everyone and spread the word in a positive sense.

>>32750401
Also a SoCal fag. I'd try asking ranges or gun stores if you could put up flyers or distribute info near them. Get a network of people doing it all over the state.
