    Pretty much. Cheap locally made stuff that I've seen all sorts of names on (Daisy, Winchester, Kilwell, Gun City, Outdoor Outfitters, ....). That one went through the neck on about 30% power from about 10m at a guess (The one from the big packing shed @MassiveAttack). Can see bits of bone lodged in it and the top half is cleaved nicely.

    I calculate I would have fired over 400,000 of those in my formative years @2 or more packets of 500 a week...When I got a higher powered air rifle I found the wadcutters were more emphatic killers on birds they seemed to knock them off the branch/gutter where as the pointy daisy hunters sailed threw bird took flight went ten yards then nose dived.

    I usually use the domed variety as they generally have better accuracy than the pointed ones and better distance than the wad cutters. Unfortunately I didn't check what I was handed after asking for the domed variety. Most of them got used at the last camp any way.

    Bloody hell that is a lot of lead. You are truly legend VC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
