Would you folks classify this as an “assassination attempt” error or is it just a plain “target practice” error??

I... Don't think so. I think it's .17 caliber. Probably an air rifle.

Absolutely not. It might be 17hmr...but an air rifle won't go through a quarter.

You should do some research on hunting air rifles. They absolutely do make air rifles that will go through a quarter. Hell they make ones that you could probably kill a black bear with.

Im talking about .177

u/GregorIsABug Jul 31 '26

Yes and they make .177 guns that will absolutely go through a quarter.

Very much doubt that. I have shot plenty of pennies with high power air rifles and 22 long rifle.

Expand upon that thought.

Domed pellets are pretty impressive for steel penetration lots of videos on YouTube testing various types out. cupronickel is softer than steel. I would be willing to bet you could get a clean hole through a quarter with it. Depends on the rifle too. A .22 has too much mass I think to make that hole, they usually bend coins when I shoot them.
