Frequently Asked Questions

What is rat shot ammunition?

Rat shot, also known as snake shot, is specialized ammunition loaded with small pellets instead of a single projectile. This turns a firearm into a short-range shotgun, effective for pest control or small game at close distances.

How does 700 Nitro Express rat shot compare to .22 LR rat shot?

700 Nitro Express rat shot utilizes massive 1000-grain pellets at 1200 fps, creating a huge pellet spread and destructive impact. In contrast, .22 LR rat shot uses much smaller 36-grain pellets, offering significantly less power and a tighter pattern.

What firearms were used to test the rat shot?

The video features testing with a large double-barrel 700 Nitro Express rifle and a 600 Nitro Express single-shot pistol equipped with a red dot sight. Other calibers like 9mm and .22 LR were also discussed and shown.

What kind of testing was performed on the rat shot rounds?

Testing included observing pellet spread on a limousine, ballistic testing on fruits like apples and pineapples, and penetration tests using ballistic gel 'rats' to demonstrate the stopping power of the extreme caliber rat shot loads.
