Ratshot

>>33728490
Doesn't cycle semi-autos, so it's best used in a revolver or bolt-action.

Works just fine for snakes, but you have to get pretty close, so I'd recommend not using it on anything venomous.

JUST fuck my rifling up oniichan

I have blasted numerous pests with it. Rats and winged rats mostly.

>plastic & soft metal balls
>doing anything but fouling a hardened steel barrel

Remember what you saw here today on April 22, 2017 folks. The day an anon asked if rat shot was a meme. Remember and weep for for who we were as individuals and as a nation,as we descent ever deeper into the decay

Perfect for killing those pesky dogs.

>>33728490
I hear of people shooting snakes with it

Fuck off if you're going to bitch about the word in every thread.

still wears much faster than something that doesn't directly impact the edges of the rifling

I check fence lines with rat shot in my .357, very effective. In a .22 revolver this would probably work almost as well, but I have only shot this stuff at paper targets wasting time out in the pasture.

The snake charmer is the short one with the AFG and sling

>still wears much faster than something that doesn't directly impact the edges of the rifling
?

>>33728961
The use of the word itself in this context is essentially a meme in of itself. Fuck off.

>>33728536
pigeons or bats, because you shouldn't shoot bats.

>>33728490
It's shit unless you actually have a smooth bore gun meant to shoot it.
With a smoothbore 22, I've knocked clays out of the air at the skeet range with the stuff.
With a rifled barrel, you'll have a shit-tacular pattern at 3 feet.

Are you like some kind of ATF snek division officer?

Is getting pissed off at meme question threads a meme?

literally the best round for exterminating mice and rats. I would highly recommend it, safe to shoot indoors if you are in a garage or somewhere you don't dare about the paint. Out of a heritage rough rider 6 inch barrel it has like 1 foot of spread at 15 feet away. I have never had something survive it and have killed multiple mice with one shot.

It's a little dirty. But I present the most meme .22 around. A smooth bore .22 with choke.

Proof of single shot 22

They are not just a meme, they can be useful in rural areas if you have pests. 22lr ratshot out of a pistol isn't very effective. Out of a rifle it's good.

22 magnum ratshot from a pistol is good and out of a rifle it will knock the lights out of any critter.

>>33731674
I have been thinking about making a double barrel smooth bore .22 just for shits and giggles.
How does it shoot?

>>33732052

I've never shot it. I inherited it from my grandpa. I need to make a new trigger guard one of these days.

>>33732252
>not just bending one out of sheet metal and fastening with drywall screws
You have failed your grandpa, long my he fudd in heaven.

>>33729034
so having lead grind against the rifling is better than #12 shot possibly hitting the rifling?

makes sense.

>>33731689
>single shot .22

that has got to be the most boring gun to shoot ever.

>>33732252
You should fix it up and take it shooting, or at very least clean it.

>>33732371

>sheet metal.

Taking the pleb route is below both him and I.

I'm just waiting for time to make one out of a piece of steel at work. Being a machinist has its perks, just have to wait for there to be time in the shop.

>>33731130
Being annoyed at the sheer volume of meme questions threads is pretty valid, because it's never about the use of the subject, it's qualities or how it came to be a meme. Every time it's brought up the question may as well be "does X actually exist" because that's all it takes to be a meme apparently. It's a word used so often for any reason or context that it's losing all meaning. Now all the word is good for is being the 4chan equivalent of a poke on Facebook in that it means the OP has fuck all to actually say or can't be bothered to formulate a decent question

When have you every heard of anyone here or in real life espousing all the virtues of ratshot

>>33732567
Why not just use a die grinder and a drillpress, seems like a waste of time to mill one out when you can do it at home

>>33733026

Because I have access to means to do it nicer.

My grandfather took great care to do his work right, and I am no different.

Yes, milling it will take longer then just making it out of a strip of 1/8th steel plate, but it will be more true to what it had which was cast.

>>33733062
I mean get a piece of bar stock, start hogging out material and then hand finish. A CNC mill for a project like that are for people who aren't classically trained in machining.

>>33728490
Anything that isn't hard cast lead is a meme anon.

>>33733108
may as well say machining is for people who aren't classically trained in hand forging then.

A CNC can spit that out in the space of an hour instead of spending an afternoon grinding and filing.

>>33733108

I could set up the 3 axis machine, but I'll probably just use the bridgeport to do it.

Also, programming the machines and having them hog it out as >>33733229 says isn't a big thing and I could have the shape done in short order with the tooling I have access to. Though I'll probably just do the inside of it then finish the outside on sander before doing nice polish and having my buddy powdercoat it.

>>33728490
You can shoot rats without putting holes in your floor. Other than that it is pretty useless. desu~

>>33733279
You should blue it, heck go whole hog and make it the most beautiful and accurate .22 rat shot shotgun in the world

>>33729909
Nope, I do security and I train weekly with ar and glock so they don't really do anything for me so I like the cool stuff and innawoods and such I carry that kind of stuff

>>33731689
What kind? I've had a Chipmunk gun ever since I was a kid, I was amazed at how tiny it was to me now.

Can you shoot people with ratshot?

>>33731689
So the bolt handle is the locking lug?

>>33732567
Not cast brass? Tsk.

>>33734370
yeah, its .22lr

Is ratshot as loud as normal bullets? id assume it would be quieter if used for pest control but ive never shot any.

>>33732444
They're not really boring imo. They're slow, obviously, but you'll never waste ammo with one and they're the easiest guns in the world to disassemble and clean.

My biggest issue with mine is the trigger. It's an absolute ratshit trigger and there's no real way to cure it with the way the rifle is designed.

Carry it in my sp101 tacklebox gun. When you need it, its worth every goddamn penny.

>>33734381

I could machine it out of brass.

Though it was originally plastic.

>>33732433
> comparing two things that grind against the rifling
try again

>>33732444
Fuck off go shoot your mall ninja AK pattern synthetic faggotry while you wear your favorite gear queer helmet and get a reach around from your uncle. I couldn't count the number of young men who's first and most beloved rifle was a .22 single shot. I learned on them so did my daddy and so did his daddy and all of us loved them you fucking nigger

>>33738027
Wew lad

>>33738027
Boy he really touched a nerve there didn't he. Was shooting a .22 the only bonding experience you had with your father before he left you for being a spaz

just make a larger version of this.

>>33728490
I have some for my 44 magnum.

It's a lot better than buying a separate gun altogether like a Judge for removing snek.

>>33728545
>soft metal
You think steel pellets are softer than lead?

>>33739228
just burn a little aviation fuel, it'll soften it right up. lead, butter, steel, its all the same

>>33733531
This seems like something that should be answered, kek

>>33728490
We use these to shoot pidgeons with my mate at work. We can't shoot normal boolits there becase the pidgeons sit on steel girders and we don't want to shoot ourselfs with ricochets, also don't want boss to see boolit holes around the place. It works well enough for that.
Also fun af to shoot potatoes with them.

>>33739591
well we never heard back from this anon...

No if you point it at a person the gun's built in friendly fire detector will trip and you won't be able to pull the trigger, just like in a videogame.

My guy at the local shop said some old guy buys it to hunt bumblebees from his front porch. Sounds like fun. Those big bees aren't endangered are they?

>>33739900

I mean will it fuck you up

>>33728490
Make sure to shoot a paper cup filled with water with one of these, it's pretty neat actually. I used the Federal kind in my Henry lever action and it worked great.

>>33743270
It will fuck someone up. They would bleed like crazy, it will hurt like hell, and they'll have to get a surgeon to pick all the tiny pieces of lead out.

It probably won't kill unless it somehow nicks a major artery close to the surface and you're really far away from a hospital and can't put a tourniquet on it.

Under no circumstance would it stop someone in their tracks, though.
