Armadillos are really bulletproof. 11 shots, no kill.

I had heard that armadillos are immune to .22 rounds but never believed it. Last night my dogs were going crazy about something outside the fence. I grabbed trusty spotlight and saw the fucker.

Run upstairs and grabbed my .22LR pistol because I didn't want my ears blown out.

11 shots into that bitch, not one went through. They are seriously bulletproof.

The .357 is coming out tonight.

LOL - I never lived in armadillo country, so no clue ... but it sounds like they're tough lil' suckers.

Why do you want to kill it?

You obviously don't live in armadillo country. As they search for grubs they destroy your yard and, believe it or not, can spread leprosy.

I'd rethink that if I were you. They're known to ricochet

22 rifle (vs the pistol) maybe. 223 for sure.. I usually take out armadillos with my truck on the ride home :p

I literally saw the rounds bounce. .223 probably would have done the job.

If the .223 doesn't work tour might have to upgrade to calibre that is measured in millimeters.
