What Caliber for Leprechauns?

[cbsbyte]

Its more fun to shock the little buggers with a stun gun and watch them twitch. Remember they are magicly delicious.

For such exotic critters, I think an exotic round is fitting. How about the .14 Eichelberger WMR? It's a teeny, tiny hypervelocity rimfire round that should be more than enough for the little green fellers. I guess any varmint round would do fine. I just have a love of the exotics. I'd probably choose the 9mm rimfire Flobert shotgun shell if I expected to be shooting them on the move. I actually shoot skeet with it sometimes.

Against Leprechauns?

I'll take:

* 12 ga with 08, 07, 04, 00, and 000.
* .357 Mag
* .30-30
* .22 LR
* .38 spl +P
* M198 howitzer
* 22 B-2s, fully loaded
* The largest thermonuclear device I can find.

This question is obviously being posed to Americans
who have little understanding of the power of Leprechauns.

I'm mostly Scot,
but I understand the Leps.

I aint messing with no leprechauns. Them little ba----ds can put a hex on your A$$ worse than any Voodoo priest ever dreamed of.

Bigger the better. You get more than one that way.

 

[grimjaw]

.357 or .38, from a Colt Cobra, Python, or Anaconda, for a little snake's revenge.

The last Leprechaun I "bagged" (it's a little known fact some came to Australia in the 1800's, hidden in immigrant ships) took four shots from a .303 and was still coming, had to finnish the little sod off with the bayonet!

 

[TonyB]

22 short...of course

What bakert said, don’t piss em off!
Little buggers can make your Ruger Single Six go full auto!


(then the lib-r-Als will want to ban them)

Question to more senior members experienced with the harvest...
I had a .25 ACP, a little Raven. I also had some hot little frangible rounds for it. Would that combination have sufficed?
Alternatively, would a .410 be ok?

 

[Glock22]

Do you need a firearm? I just pour whiskey on the highway and when they stop to lap it up the traffic kills them.

That is hilarious, but in all seriousness a Ruger 10/22 or some kind of semiautomatic 20 gauge.

 

[kd7nqb]

I take a mosin in 7.62x54r that should stop even the best little green guys.

Buy a bottle of Jameson's.
Drink it with a friend.
Fill bottle with scotch.
Set on porch.
Wait for Leprechaun.
When he takes the first swig he will probable die on the spot.
If not, while he is bent over sticking his finger down his throat trying to vomit, smack him in the head with a blackthorn.
Go to store with friend and use gold to buy more Jameson's.
Repeat a necessary.

Tsk.

4.25 Liliput. It's the only possible excuse for the caliber mice laugh at.

 

[kb2iaw]

Limeyfellow,

Looks like the little bastid got you first, you got a flat tire.


Is there a bag (or pot) limit? Are they edible?

 

[Greysand]

dust off & nuke em' from orbit - it’s the only way to be sure.. With the right placement and enough nukes, you could make a nice 4 leaf clover pattern as seen from space..

 

[SoCalShooter]

30-06 and 45ACP

 

[KINGMAX]

CCI Green Tag .22 SHORT

[jamz]

[tylor reimer]

maby a accruate .308 to turn his head into a banna kinda like that just not red

 

[Bigjake]

nuke shorty from orbit, its the only way to be sure

 

[shooter503]

OK. Everybody is forgetting that if you catch a Lep. he has to grant you three wishes. Therefore, you gotta take him alive. I suggest a stun dart loaded with at least four fingers of Irish Whisky - that way when you catch him he's also in a good mood.
