Salute cannon obliterates bird - GIF

[Gadgeteer]

I shot a mallard out of a flock that was flying at least 1/4 mile overhead. Fired a single shot, while randomly pointing my .22 pump rifle toward the birds. I was quite surprised to see the poor bird break out of the flock, and while futilely flapping one wing, fly into the ground at a 45º angle. Bullet had broken a wing. I had been hunting rabbits with another high school friend, and told him I meant to do it.
