Hello everyone!

Just a quick hello from sunny Cornwall

I primarily use a PCP air rifle with a NV attachment, but also 12b, .410 and a 9mm shotty when needed and occasionally a catapult as well

Mostly hunting for pest control and food but occasional fox control

Welcome. What is a 9mm shotgun? New one to me.

 

[Julian S]

Think its a rimfire 9mm shot shell

 

[oldsmokey]

Thanks for the greetings!

9mm shotgun is as Julian said, 9mm rimfire double load in a nice all brass shell
Approximately 7 grams (1/4oz) shot with a muzzle velocity of 650~700fps

Used to be known as a No3 garden gun as well

Useful little shotgun for close range pest control, sub 15 yard shots around buildings or even inside
Usually can get the shell with no6 shot (Fiocchi) and no10 (RWS)

Subsonic as standard, and not very loud at all.

Ideal for rats and roosting pigeons for example, or squirrels on a bird feeder!
