I don’t hunt but other members of the Buist family do and I’ve noticed a fair number of them tend to use something with a little more oomph than required for the game at hand.
I figure it must be genetic after seeing this:
Another Scot in the same unit eliminated a sniper by using a precision missile launcher which costs £70,000 to fire.
Sergeant Daniel Buist, of Arbroath, Angus, hit the insurgent hiding in a two-feet wide “murder hole” dug out of a wall.
The 34-year-old fired his Javelin launcher – only used in the “most desperate of situations” – to take out the sniper after seeing him shoot patrols.
Incredibly, his aim was so accurate he hit the enemy fighter without damaging the compound wall.
Emphasis mine.
In case you wondered what a Javelin was here’s a video:
I used to do that a lot in Doom. :D
If it didn’t damage the wall it sounds like the missle hit him, but didn’t explode.. Perhaps?
