Considering that they are crafty little buggers that will roll into tight places you might want to consider a handgun.  The question is are you trophy hunting for a good mount, meat hunting or just eliminating.  Depending on your goal you will determine the caliber and potential loss of meat or pelt damage vs. quick clean kill  ;D

.308?  I think not...you might face this...

Quote
Excerpt Scene 32

TIM:  Follow!  But! follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance
      to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man
      yet has fought with it and lived!  Bones of four fifty men lie strewn
      about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or
      your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty
      big pointy teeth.
  ARTHUR:  What an eccentric performance.


Scene 33
 
      [clop clop whinny]
  KNIGHT:  They're nervous, sire.
  ARTHUR:  Then we'd best leave them here and carry on on foot.  Dis-mount!
  TIM:  Behold the cave of Kyre Banorg!
  ARTHUR:  Right!  Keep me covered.
  KNIGHT:  What with?
  ARTHUR:  Just keep me covered.
  TIM:  Too late!
      [chord]
  ARTHUR:  What?
  TIM:  There he is!
  ARTHUR:  Where?
  TIM:  There!
  ARTHUR:  What, behind the rabbit?
  TIM:  It is the rabbit!
  ARTHUR:  You silly sod!  You got us all worked up!
  TIM:  Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.  That's the most foul, cruel,
      and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on.
  ROBIN:  You tit!  I soiled my armor I was so scared!
  TIM:  Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide, it's a
      killer!
  KNIGHT:  Get stuffed!
  TIM:  It'll do you a trick, mate!
  KNIGHT:  Oh, yeah?
  ROBIN:  You mangy Scot git!
  TIM:  I'm warning you!
  ROBIN:  What's he do, nibble your bum?
  TIM:  He's got huge, sharp-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!
  ARTHUR:  Go on, Boris.  Chop his head off!
  BORIS:  Right!  Silly little bleeder.  One rabbit stew comin' right up!
  TIM:  Look!
      [squeak]
  BORIS:  Aaaugh!
      [chord]
  ARTHUR:  Jexxx Chxxx!
  TIM:  I warned you!
  ROBIN:  I peed again!
  TIM:  I warned you!  But did you listen to me?  Oh, no, you knew it all,
      didn't you?  Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it?  Well,
      it's always the same,  I always--
  ARTHUR:  Oh, shut up!
  TIM:  --But do they listen to me?--
  ARTHUR:  Right!
  TIM:  -Oh, no--
  KNIGHTS:  Charge!
      [squeak squeak]
  KNIGHTS:  Aaaaugh!  Aaaugh! etc.
  KNIGHTS:  Run away!  Run away!
  TIM:  Haw haw haw.  Haw haw haw.  Haw haw.
  ARTHUR:  Right.  How many did we lose?
  KNIGHT:  Gawain.
  KNIGHT:  Hector.
  ARTHUR:  And Boris.  That's five.
  GALAHAD:  Three, sir.
  ARTHUR:  Three.  Three.  And we'd better not risk another frontal
      assault, that rabbit's dynamite.
  ROBIN:  Would it help to confuse it if we run away more?
  ARTHUR:  Oh, shut up and go and change your armor.
  GALAHAD:  Let us taunt it!  It may become so cross that it will make
      a mistake.
  ARTHUR:  Like what?
  GALAHAD:  Well,....

If it isn't you can always call your local Gov sponsored "Planned Parenthood" office.

Don't have the number for a fully laden swallow on the tip of my tongue, but the speed of an unladen European Swallow is 24mph.  They don't carry very much in any case.

Clearly...

A 5 oz bird cannot carry a 1 lb coconut.  It's a simple matter of weight ratios.  

Now, if two swallows...

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

I always wondered why I felt comfortable in this forum.

The fact that so many people can quote the Holy Grail shows me that I am home.

Dont take this the wrong way but I am actually surprised that US citizens are aware and familiar with Monty Python, next thing I know you will be quoting spike milligan and harry secombe.

PS my favourite monty movie was the life of brian!

Monty Python is regular fare for those of us that were geeks in (and after) college.  If you look at where Michael Palin and John Cleese tour now...it is mostly in the US.

I'm so much a geek that I have actually seen most - if not all - of John Cleese's hysterically funny sales training videos he did in Chicago back in the 70's. They don't sell them now, as the clothing and hairstyles are rather dated and everyone ends up laughing at that rather than at the funny presentation of smart and serious sales stuff.

The year I was overseas in Iceland (76-77) the AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio/television Services) got most of their programing from Great Britain.  We had nightly Monty Python and Benny Hill, uncensored of course.  It was a real hoot!
