Quotes
“ It cannot be considered effective for self-defense or any type of hunting. Anyway, she would kill rats and mice at close range. Like all mini cartridges, it can cause serious injury at close range. Its main use would be in indoor practice shooting, but it is too rare and too expensive for that. "
