You sure you were not using the Bond Arms Snake Mild Annoyer model? They look very similar at a glance.

I suspect the #9 shot is the problem, not the .410. I use #4 shot for most pest control, and killed a snake that was messing with my dog at ~30 feet, a shot which resulted in complete separation of head from body (snake, not dog, who was behind me at the moment).

Life is full of experiences. Here’s another bit of wisdom, don’t whizz on an electric fence.

Forgot to mention, using .20 gauge, but I think a tight patterned .410 would have similar results.

That episode of Ren & Stimpy is a classic.

I do too.
I’ve nailed a dozen snakes over the past decade here at the Lake of the Ozarks. A single shot .410 will do the job.

A 3” 00 buck 410 load will kill man

I have a Cimarron Titan Derringer which is basically a short Bond arms two barrel tip up. 45 LC/410. Barrel probably 2.5 inches.
Number 9 shot is about .08” in diameter and with that short a barrel, I’d expect that the “direct” hit discussed was like rock salt spread out to the snake.
If you want to eff up a snake, hit him with a 12 gauge at that same distance and see what happens.

Your problem is 2 fold #9 shot and a 3” barrel bond arms gun. No barrel length = no velocity and “9 is very small shot and will not retain what little energy you are getting through that short barrel. An H&R single shot full choke with some #6 or #4 would have easily done the trick.

5 30 cal balls at 1150 fps is nothing to take lightly

Load selection was his problem. I’d not use less than #6 for something like that. #7 1/2 smallest I ever use for quail.

I thought he would be talking about ricochet off the surface of the water.

There’s a lot to be said for crew-served weapons. I don’t like snakes either.
