I have mine in 22LR/410 combo. 22LR is useless except for small game. 410 on slugs has a better pentrating power and accuracy. 410 on pellets can't really damage much. Pellets burry themselves in clay bird and can't break it. It is better than nothing and accuracy does take practice as it was mentioned here. After you take it appart it is quite small and easy to carry around that's why it goes with me on almost all kayaking trips. For the money it is an ok rifle but if the size is not an issue go with something else. The only thing this gun has going for it is a size. Maybe with Hornet round you will have more punch. Having said that being stuck somewhere with no rifle and with the M6 I would choose M6 anyday.
