  • Air rifle & thermal rat shooting with the FX Impact M3 in 22 cal.
    Out at a poultry farm tonight and there are rats everywhere.
    Running the JSB Hades pellets at 600fps.
    Super effective on the rodents at that speed while greatly reducing any risk of property damage.
    I'm using the Pulsar Trail2 XP50 LRF thermal rifle scope and a carbon fibre tripod with arca swiss mount.

    I might've written this before on here but in case I haven't there was this rat channel on TH-cam where if you commented and listed someone that has pissed you off - boss, ex, workmates so on so forth and you mentioned their first their name, next vid he'd assign a rat he was about to shoot with that persons name and add some cold blooded narration like Doc Holliday said to Ringo after he ventilated his head in Tombstone. It was hilarious. I can't remember what channel it was but!

    Nicely done! I've killed over 200 rats in my backyard over the last 2 years using everything from a Benjamin Marauder .22 bolt action with an ATN Thor4 thermal to a semi/full auto Hatsan Blitz .22 with the ATN or HALO thermal to a semi/full auto .25 cal LCS SK 19 with ATN and Halo thermal. The LCS .25 puts them down immediately but is a little overpowered for a neighborhood. IMO a .22 LCS SK 19 with a HALO thermal is ideal. The .22 Hatsan Blitz is a great option for less money but you can't add a suppressor. If you want to be suppressed pay up for an LCS. Just put out a few bird Feeders and the rats will show up at night.

Now he's not the outdoors type like me, so I had to give him some shooting pointers. He's turned into a Demon with that weapon!
