are they still good eating when blasted with a round that can outright kill a person?
People are squishy. You can outright kill a person with .22 subsonic which is great for squirrels.
Well... It's not great for the squirrels TBF but good for the hunting anyway.
Is .22 good for squirrels?
No, it kills them... 😂
.22 is pretty much the only round you can use for squirrel wtf are you talking about
edit: I've had coffee and get the joke now
You mean like a .22 varmint round? Yes.
Dude any round can kill or maim, I had a kinsman who blew out his eye with a BBC gun back in the 50s. If a small ball round can do that imagine what a .22 or .32 could do.
I know you meant bb gun, but BBC gun is fucking hysterical!
Y'know usually I hate autocorrect but this time it's funny. Best part is it's because I was talking about the BBC company, know the TV thing.
