once lacking a chainsaw i did mange to dislodge a particulary obstropulous buck jacko from a pine tree with the naval gun.
unfortunately he was deceased due to my attempted neurosurgery with my wee russian toz 17 .22which resulted in a massive vacancy where his grey matter once resided-so he didnt feel the impact from a 15"fall.bugger all left from neck up too!
latterly ive also got a 7.62x39 B/A in the safe and from what ive read its data with the 125gn slug is broadly similar to my .303.It too is a hard hitter in the right hands.
