Tannerite Ammo

100 years ago my gang were all considering precision air guns. We’re not talking $69.00 Harbour Freight or Daisy or Crosman here either…I had to opt out. Of us, only Baloney Bob had a loose $1400.00 for an air gun. Back then I couldn’t dump that kind of coin on a centre fire gun. 

Our summer ritual was every weekend we’d go to the gun club, maybe shoot .22s or a couple rounds of clays - and then go back to Bob’s and get sloshed on his deck and BBQ. The deck was great… but the local gulls and magpies liked it as much as we did and pooped all over it. Then in the morn the next day, the magpies would start yakking at Bob the second the sun started coming up and he was struggling with hangovers. 

And so after gun day services, Bob’d bring out his match air gun on the deck whilst we drank and grilled. And we unleashed a genocide on the nuisance birds. We had a ball until one of his old biddy bird loving  neighbours started seeing corpses everywhere and she thought something like West Nile disease or African Bird Flu was killing all her little beloved feathered friends. She called the gubbimint Department Of Dead Birds and they actually sent people out to pick up the dead birds, and take them back to the lab for autopsy. 

Where, no doubt, they’d find out the birds had all taken .177 pills and gotten lead poisoning. 😂👍

Awkward questions could be posed, with deeply offensive answers to certain people. Our reign of terror ended and I never saw that rifle again.

ED Gun seems to have perfected air gun snipery AND combined it with lethal tannerite ammunition. Baloney Bob and I are green with envy. I’m posting the snuff vid below the fold so as not to offend the bed wetters, snivellers and panty waists that may stray in here.

It is an interesting concept.
