Varmint cartrige bolt rifle or lever action. 10 round mag. 22/250 243, maybe others incl 223
Zero for 250m. Get in close start shooting. Fast cal running chest shots a lot more do able. Point blank range to 300m atleast.

Get more shooters

Chopper and a shotgun.

Shoot at a distance that gives you a bigger shooting gallery. Range areas to give you a quick dope chart and lay into them.

For the average person. Option 2 of a 22/250, 223 or 243 would probably give you the most dead goats.

Christ. Sounds like a bloody war.
