During WW2 the Airforce issued a folding stocked BA .22 Hornet survival rifle for the European theatre.Rational to kill available wild game ie:boar,roe deer and if needed silence a Hun.I think they were made by Armalite?Here in Northern Canada the Inuit use Hornets and .222's to wack walrus ,seals ,caribou and even heaven forbid polar bears!Usually headshot swimming....................Harold[ just wish I could find a stable hornet]
