[TheForge] OT - Yak Gun question

[Justin Fellenz]

I had a kid in one of my classes who wrote about poaching deer with .22lr. He said it worked fine with good placement out to 50 yards or better.

  Well, I admire Hatcher's work. The man was something of a genius in 
this area, but it seems he was not qualified to state what energy would 
cause a fatal wound unless the 60 lb-ft number was referring to the 
standard .30 cal. FMJ military round. The .22lr produces a muzzle 
energy of something like 35 lb-ft and easily kills humans with a shot to 
the base of the skull.
