Snake shot (a.k.a.: bird shot, rat shot and dust shot)[1] refers to handgun and rifle cartridges loaded with small lead shot. Snake shot is generally used for shooting at snakes, rodents, birds, and other pests at very close range. The most common snake shot cartridge is .22 Long Rifle loaded with #12 shot. From a standard rifle these can produce effective patterns only to a distance of about {{convert|3|m|ft|-1}} - but in a smoothbore shotgun (or Garden Gun) this can extend as far as {{convert|15|m|ft|-1}}. UsesSnake shot is generally used for shooting at snakes, rodents, birds, and other pest at very close range. Commonly use by hikers, backpacker and campers, snake shot is ideally suited for use in derringers and revolvers (especially "Kit guns"), chambered for .22 Long Rifle, or .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Snake shot may not cycle properly in semi-automatic pistols. Shot shells have also been historically issued to soldiers, to be used in standard issue rifles. The .45-70 "Forager" round, which contained a thin wooden bullet filled with birdshot, was intended for hunting small game to supplement the soldiers' rations.[2][3] This round in effect made the .45-70 rifle into a small gauge shotgun, capable of killing rabbits, ducks, and other small game. During World War II, the United States military developed the .45 ACP M12 and M15 shot shells cartridges. They were issued to pilots, to be used as foraging ammunition in the event that they were shot down. The M15 cartridges were loaded with 118 pellets of # 7 1/2 birdshot.[4] The boxes were marked "For use in hunting small game effective range 25 feet."[5] While they were best used in the M1917 revolvers, the M15 cartridge would actually cycle the semi-automatic M1911 pistols action.[6] The current CCI .45ACP shotshell cartridges is virtually identical to these rounds. Snake shot shellsBoth Winchester[7] and Federal[8] make star-crimped .22 Long Rifle snake shot loaded with #12 shot. These cartridges resemble traditional crimped blank cartridges. CCI is by far the largest single manufacturer of snake shot ammunition, making cartridges in .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum, .38 Special, 9×19mm Luger, .40 Smith & Wesson, .44 Special, .45 ACP and .45 Colt. CCI rimfire ammunition and nearly all of its centerfire snake-shot cartridges use a hollow plastic capsule which holds the shot, and is often shaped like a bullet to aid in feeding.[9] The plastic capsule shatters during firing, and allows the shot to disperse after it exits the muzzle.
Garden Guns{{main|Garden guns}}"Garden Guns" are smooth bore guns specifically made to fire .22 caliber snake shot or 9mm Flobert shot-shells, and are commonly used by gardeners and farmers for pest control. They are short range weapons that can do little harm past 15 to 20 yards, and they are quiet when fired with snake shot, compared to standard ammunition. These guns are especially effective inside of barns and sheds, as the snake shot will not shoot holes in the roof or walls, or more importantly injure livestock with a ricochet. They are also used for pest control at airports, warehouses, stockyards, etc.[11] Safety considerations
