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.

The Pack Rifle web sites has pictures of a happy kid posing with dead cats. Pretty creepy.

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

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.

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

It looks like he got headshots.

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.
