Active Shooter: America Under Fire

Light birdshot loads should be perfect for that type of pest control!

Ideally with a cylinder choke but you use what you have and get up closer if you must. And two quick rounds just in case you nick it and it thinks you're less dangerous than the dog.

Snakes are tough. Need a heavier load than birdshot to be sure.

Or multiple rounds with safe shots when the dog and snake are hyper triggered, which is precarious.

Perhaps. I've only ever used military rounds in a pump action.



One round suffices as a rule.

Pump, semi, or double, the problem with snakes as well as dogs in that scenario is that the snakes are lightning quick lunging and dogs are prone to going in for the kill when their instincts say so, and dogs don't get bred for bush smarts these days bar pig dogs and pit fighters.



It's not likely that buckshot will always stop a snake or even birdshot. They're too quick and have a lower profile. It's a roll of the dice. That's why two shots of whatever you have in short burst gets the job done and saves the pet, unless the pet lunges on the second. It's a calculated risk, so I'm told. Nobody wants to kill anything in that scenario, snake included. They just want both to keep living.

The best action still remains; grab the mutt if you can and GTFO.

I have never shot a reptile, so I wouldn't know.

Not an easy thing to do. A samurai sword would be a better option if you happen to have one handy.
