minus-square☂️-linkfedilink0•10 months agoi was under the assumption an ar15 would explode something like a rabbit without useable trace?
minus-square@frezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilink0•edit-210 months agoNah, it’s a small round as rifles go. “High powered military rifle” is a complete misnomer.
minus-square@DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink0•10 months agoA small round traveling really fast can do a lot of damage, not a great round for small game - stick to .22 or birdshot.
minus-squarenickwitha_k (he/him)linkfedilink0•10 months agoThe likely issue there is less the size of the round and more the impact of the pressure wave on tissue. Body shots with a standard high-powered rifle round may not leave much useable meat on something the size of a rabbit.
minus-square@frezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilink0•10 months agoYeah, if you want meat. Farmers usually want to control rabbits from eating everything else.
