I got some .22 to play with. It’s wildly underpowered, which is the point I guess. Coming out a pistol, it spreads really fast (see video above). I doubt it would seriously wound a rat at 10’. After some very informal testing, I doubt it would go through 2 layers of sheetrock, and maybe not one. (Depends largely on barrel length.)
Also, anything you would shoot these out of is going to have a rifled barrel. Makes shot (pellets) come out in a pinwheel. I have a 410-gauge derringer I’d dare you to shoot me with from 15’. LOL, I’ve never got a single pellet on a 3’x3’ target at 8’, it’s really that crazy bad. Maybe if there was a snake right at your foot or something? 🤷🏻♂️
And now I see they have .45 rat shot. Thanks OP. I really didn’t need this rabbit hole tonight.
EDIT: Damnit OP. $2 each before shipping, so probably $4 each. Too rich for my blood. Why did you start me on this?!
Shit, are those bullets?
Yep! You can get them for most common ammo sizes, but .50 cal is particularly hilarious.

Damn, I lauhed so hard at the Predator dummy 🤣🤣🤣.
Seriously though, the .50 cal is… ridiculous, you could easily kill a human with it.
I guess that’s the idea. 🤷

Like birdshot but for rats
Damn… I could die tomorrow and never know these things existed…
Not unless you have short term memory loss
What are we talking about again?
