anyone wanna give this a go with their nice PCPs?

This video makes me want to get a smooth twist barrel and cut a couple inches off the muzzle end to eliminate the rifling and shoot some pellets forwards and backwards.... Talk about a hollow point that would dump all its energy on impact rather than making a pass through! This is it! I guess I could try shooting some 34's at the range with the air stripper and Huggett removed from my Wildcat and see what kind of accuracy I get at 25 & 50 yards... The pellets shot from the smooth bore with no rifling at all were the most stable though, so not very high hopes for what my results are going to be.

Venturing into “I may not know what I’m talking about” Territory here, but, here are a couple of thoughts. 

I’m wondering if the speed being used by them is a factor? We all have seen a particular pellet perform better at a different speed from a particular gun or other. 

Could a viable test be conducted using a multi pump bb/pellet rifle, do they not have smooth bore? If so, this would eliminate the cutting of an expensive barrel just for the sake of an experiment? 

I will re-watch it, but I think I heard something about 1500 fps. 

Some of the best personal defense loads out of a .38 Special revolver was loading the wadcutter bullet backwards.

Devastating..

...nope.

Another point that was not taken into consideration or addresed, as best I recall, is accuracy and consistency. 

Shot pellets backwards from my Rifled Benjamin 342 back in the late 1960's. Good for short range devastation if my old memory serves correctly. 

Just wondering..... —

We all want "devastating" and "dump all its energy" and all that. Me, too! Of course!



So, WHY doesn't any pellet maker give us THAT KIND of a pellet (say, for short range ratting*)?

(I mean, the willing buyers are just waiting to gobble it up, why not sell it to them?)



*Here're are my suggested trade names (H&N, Crosman, Predator, you can use any of them, just send me a couple dozen tins of your creation, OK?):

—Rat Raider

—Rat Puncher

—Thwackkk'er

—Hole Puncher
