And if you can't hit a rat in the head with an airgun pellet at
point-blank-range, you shouldn't be in charge of the thing.

Unfortunately tree rats do not stand still, they RAPIDLY run from one end of
the trap to the other, you'd be very lucky to hit one to kill it in just one
shot.

Wehn Rusty refers to a squirrel rifle, he means one that you load
with squirrels ....

I don't think I'd be able to pick it up if it was loaded with an elephant!
