Termites or bird shot from a 10 guage?

I think the termite sizes range from 5 to 7.62 to 50 Caliber plus an occasional canon ball :laser: :flame:

sunk fiberglass boats "erode" away over time.

I am unsure of how... but I've seen them in assorted stages washed up out of the local lakes when they flooded or exposed when the water got very low.

One I should have a pic of somewhere... was down to just very thin glass on transom and part of the keel. That was all that was left.

But yes, the pics above resemble shotgun damage.

Knob Creek still hosts the big machine gun shoot every year right?

$50+/- will get you a 10round burst on a 50cal. Lasts about 3/4 of a second......
