 on your property and obviously if you live in the city this isn't going to work out for you but if you live in the country and want to get rid of some of these pests this is the perfect rifle for you it actually uses a 22 caliber long range shot shell and because it's a smooth bore and doesn't have rifling it distributes the projectiles in a really tight pattern throw in the fact it's got a 15 round capacity and there's plenty of pest control to go around
