Cool My 9mm verses a Hornets Nest

Grins.



Here's a short little 1 minute Video of my Smith and Wesson 9mm verses a huge nest of attacking zombie apocalyptic hornets.

I swear it was self defense!!!

nah.

The hornets nest was growing under a spinning target in my back yard gun range anyways, so that makes them fair game right?


Hint: For you shooter plinkers, great spinning targets are two 1 gallon paint cans, balanced on a old fishing pole rod. Fill with yellow insulation expando foam to get more ballistic bullet impacting energy to spin more. Super fun with a 9mm, or .22.............with or without Hornets.

I was thinking maybe get close enough to spray them with gas, then shoot it with tracer rounds?

That looks like fun. Now that you have softened them up, I am picturing a Mossberg 500 for the next attack.

Cool idea but I would have used my 7mmRemMag, just because I could have shot them from -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Way over there

Seems like going at night with a heavy duty plastic trash bag would have been more effective

YES, they're rebuilding the nest like active little beavers..........well hornets anyways.


I'm torn between a shot-gun, or my black powder cannon...........hmmmmmm such choices.

That video was better than 90% of the crap I see on TV or the Web. Clearly defined antagonist/protagonist, easy to follow story arc, production quality was great....hell, it even had a nice score.

Two thumbs up!
