A pack rifle is one that is carried by backpackers for self-defense and emergency hunting. They need to be sturdy, compact, and above all lightweight. This .22-caliber single shot design by a firm called Mountain View Machine & Welding weighs under a pound.
It doubles as a fishing rod. See what the man's left hand is covering? That's where the extending rod comes out. Attach the reel to the grip. Now you're ready to catch supper a different way.

I don't know much about guns, but it seems like a single-shot .22 isn't going to be of much use for self defense or hunting.

It looks like he got headshots.

Im more amazed by the fact that he could take down a big cat with a .22lr caliber gun.. I wouldnt count on a .22 to kill a regular person

Went to look at the picture in question. That's pretty sick-looking, actually. Somehow I doubt that boy was in danger of being eaten by that cat.

Although cougars and bobcats are cats, they're also dangerous predators.
