100% agree. Really not sure what it's good for.
I used to shoot it in my basement as a kid for practice. Started getting worried about ventilation and toxic metal build up in the priming compound as I got older.
We also used to use Colibri's to shoot rats and opossums out of the graineries around the farm. They were quiet enough to not blow your ears when shooting in the cribs, and wouldn't damage the bins and silos. They DID, however, ricochet like an SOB since they didn't hit hard enough to splatter nor penetrate. "Rat shot" loads were a heck of a lot safer.
