Being a young whipper snapper in the late 70's my mate's dad had an old A5 that he used to get rid of wallabies raiding his tomato crops - I learnt a very valuable lesson on hand & head placement that day!
I did a running/snap shot at one that bolted at our feet - but boy did that old gun (Belgium made) belt me a beauty across the nose!
My eyes were watering so bad I couldn't see if I got the little bugger or not, my mate was laughing so hard he nearly burst a boiler! Damn thing must have been loaded with hot loads, they were real thumpers to say the least!
Mind you I got over the embarrassment & joined in after everything settled down, I still don't know if I even got the blighter after all that - frightened the crap out of him (& me)!
Bloody good fun regardless!
