    That would be quite interesting to see the math on this. The way you put it, it all makes sense to me now. So what Eric is saying about this guy shooting coyotes or dingos or whatever, Eric doesn't say that they were killed....???? But I'm guessing that the weight of the pellet coming back to earth and I guess, at it's terminal velocity would have enough energy to kill said animal....?????
    I'm guessing the pellet would have to be a large caliber. The minimum being a .22....????

    I'm gonna have to try this out next summer, the ceiling in the garage ain't high enough to try it out...lol. I'd sure like to see some math on this tho.
