I had to shoot a 20 pound raccoon this mourning and to my surprise it took 8 round's to take him out.I used my 1937,"1895" Nagant revolver instead of my AK-47 cause i didn't want the cop's to assume world war 3 has started.The sad thing was all 8 bullets went into the animal 2 in the head,1 into the back and the other 5 didn't even slow it down it basically pissed him off.So i decided that instead of using the revolver as a home defense gun i'm gonna dust off my AK and use that instead.....
