Kirsten Carves a Pumpkin Face with.22 LRVolquartsen In the video below, the talented and lovely Kirsten Joy shows off her impressive tricks-shot skills. Kirsten “carved a pumpkin” to celebrate the gouls/goblins’ holiday using her semi-auto Volquartsen.22 LR. Kirsten had to fire a lot rimfire rounds at her orange friend. It turned out that the back of Mr. Pumpkin was better than his face. Kirsten noticed that the Jack ‘O Lantern’ face on the back of her pumpkin was the most impressive. It turns out that the little.22 caliber bullets work better on exit rather than entry. These “exit” wounds made for a great Halloween face. Babee Blue Drills Pumpkins with Tannerite and.270 Win In this video, Babee Blue uses his rifle to drill pumpkins filled with Tannerite. Babee Blue’s.270 Win round exploding a pumpkin at close range is a spectacular blast. This is a great video to watch. Babee Blue is a passionate pumpkin blaster. This video is about pumpkin blasting, not pumpkin carving. This engaging video, hosted on the Garand Thumb YouTube Channel has been viewed over 1.3 MILLION time. The shooters test different cartridge types to see which firearm is the most effective at destroying pumpkins. The host explains, “In this very spooky show we will be putting gourds to lead in the most kinetic manner possible.” Which gun is the best? Only science can tell you.
Here’s a great example of wheelgun marksmanship to celebrate Halloween. Hickok45, a popular YouTube host, creates a smiley face on a pumpkin with a S&W Model 29.44 magnum revolver. Hickok45 uses the classic double-action, blued revolver made popular by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. He uses multiple shots to create the eyes, then a string of them to create the mouth. Reloading his Model 29 in between. Hickok 45 has made carving pumpkins with bullets a tradition. He uses a different firearm every year to carve a face. SEE PUMPKIN shooting playlist. Happy Halloween!
