Armadillos are bulletproof.

That's the conclusion people are drawing after a man failed to kill one with three gunshots. According to Reuters, the unnamed man walked out of his Marietta home at 3 a.m. with a .38 revolver, intending to make short work of the short animal. At least one bullet ricocheted back at the man, hitting him in the head. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where his jaw was wired shut.

No one knows what became of the armadillo, or if it was even hurt.
Sheesh!  I remember killing those little bastards all the time when we would vacation in Texas.  My parents would send me out with our old semi-auto .22 and I would just kill everything in sight...RIP Cecil  :'(    ;)

I know for a fact they aren't steel-belted radial proof.

Wtf was this guy chootin anyway? Was the armadillo crossing through his yard and there was no such crossing sign posted?  ::)

I have probably permanently removed at least a few hundred of them from Louisiana.  Tried all sorts of bullets and found the very most effective at less than 50 yards is a .22 Winchester Mag Hollowpoint.    This also proves the lack of luster for those that insist a .38 revolver with normal day-to-day ammo is an effective self defense tool.  It is ok with +p or +P+ high performance hollow points but only OK.

Agreed - that wouldn't be my pistol of choice.  It might scare them, but wouldn't stop them.

Depends if it goes though the sack or the balls...I'd probably just take the meeting.

CyB's mashing again at $19 which is a heck of a nice deal when you buy 4 and use Catsrule -  IMHO
Okay, would everyone STFU with the enabling? I'm just getting my fun budget back in shape and you yahoos are trying to spend it all in one day. Sheesh.

Morning, muchachos.
