22 Eargesplitten posted:How much light does it need? Are we talking "Won't work 200 feet under the surface of the earth, where not even the faintest ray of light gets through from the sun", or "Won't work on a cloudy night"? Would it work on a cloudy night, but with less detail/clarity? Very little. The tiny little power LED on your monitor would light up the entire room, the hallway outside said room, and still make a noticeable difference in the room 30 feet down the hallway. If you can see some stars in the sky you're good to go. As was previously mentioned no light at all means there is nothing for it to amplify, so it won't work. That's why you often have a little integrated infrared flashlight.

Give me Flibbity posted:The article talked about how .22lr was used effectively by poachers... Right, the sentiment is against using it as a primary caliber for hunting/home defense/ccw/etc. Basically things you want a clean humane kill on. .22lr cannot guarantee this, so it is not recommended. Poaching is an anything goes free for all where the only goal is not to get caught. I have seen people shoot deer with muzzleloaders in archery season and stuff an arrow into the wound, all sorts of weird and whacky poo poo.

You could probably take a whole herd of deer if you used a canister round. The tricky part would be sneaking the cannon close enough.

My house is right under a fairly substantial Canadian goose flyway. Sometimes the get so low in transit between two adjacent fields that I could get on the roof and "hunt" them with a tennis racket or a golf club. Sometimes tens of thousands of them block out the sun and I've often mused about how much gross garbage-scavenging goose meat I could procure if I had a conveniently placed cannon trained on the direction they usually come from.

Before anyone says it, yes, feral cats are not domestic cats and they're probably a net detriment to the ecosystem. But anyone who enjoys exploding cats that much is a maniac. Sorry. Gonna go hug my cats too.

Trapping feral cats or even shooting them or whatever is a whole different story from the sadistic poo poo in the webpage. If he talked about the deer that way it would be just as creepy, but the deer thing is mainly "It's cool because you killed them with a loving cannon, not that you killed them" whereas the cat page is "Look at how you scare them and then they die it's fantastic!" and "Look at this picture of a dead cat what a perfect trophy!"

walrusman posted:That's amazingly cheap but I think the tennis racket still has the edge on affordability. Feral cats aren't "kitty". I'm guessing you have never had to deal with feral cats. They are the wildest, nastiest, meanest little animals ever. The crazy thing is that they breed like rabbits, rabbits that kill *everything*. While they do hunt to eat, they are still house cats, so they just kill everything they come across for the hell of it. There's an estimated 120-160 million feral cats in the US. In one study a single cat killed 1,600 animals in 18 months. It's kind of a problem, even if blasting them with a mortar is in bad taste, I expect anyone who has had to deal with feral cats can understand the sentiment.

There's about half a dozen people between the post you quoted and the end talking about how feral cats suck, but anyone who makes the comments that guy did is a sick gently caress. I've shot more than my fair share of ferals, mostly because they're territorial as hell and would gently caress up my mom's cats. Even so, you don't devise new and sadistic ways to kill them, you just pop them with something big enough to do it quickly and humanely. Personally, I've used x39 and 7.5 Swiss and preferred the x39 for various reasons.

Regardless, feral cats are really bad news, I stand by that. Anyone who thinks they are cute little kitties is just not fully informed. That guy's comments put him on par in my mind wit people who blow away prairie dogs with "varmint grenades".

I get what you're saying, I really do, even though my coddled suburban upbringing has made me generally unable to kill cute things personally. However, I said the same thing about the people who post those videos of pink mist on youtube, set to blaring shred-music. If you enjoy watching animals die that graphically and excessively, then you have some serious mental problems. edit: haha and this is what happens when I talk on the phone for 15 minutes between clicking reply and clicking submit.

Surely trapping them and popping them with a .22 or, if you want to feel reassured, 9 mm would be adequate. Hell you don't even have to trap them if you've got 9mm out of a carbine.
