M21 has FAR more ability bow, arrows,

[andy]

for foraging small game, if the M21 is smithed properly,and bow and arrows are field[-made. COUNT on that. It's no great feat at all to reliably hit 3" marks at 25mwith the M21, from a braced position, and a really good man can do so from Weaver, unsupported. It takes a HELLUVAn archer and bowyer to do so. Probably there aren't a score of such men in the US.

And a 5.56mm gopher gun can kill a gopher deader than snot at 100 meters, so what's your point???
