Small caliber pistol, 20+ foot, 2000+ pound saltwater crocodile.
Doesn’t sound like that short a work to me.
It’s called accuracy.
If you are up a tree 8’ above the crockagator, then with an accurate pistol you pop him between the eyes.
I’ve put lots of alligators to rest with a .22 mag. Size does not matter. Their brain pan is very small.
The point was that small caliber pistols, or is it all pistols are outlawed in Australia.
