A full factory would be much more dramatic and PAINFUL! Not to mention the expense per shot.
An excerpt from "Apples Like Black Boulders"

As I moved through the brush, I fingered the hammer on my .600 Nitro TC. I could feel death in the air, and smell it, too. It was damn putrid. Then I saw it. The buffs rear end was pointing right at me with his tail pointing at the sky. Right toward the top of Kilimanjaro. I whispered to Magoomba, 'Is an *** shot legal?" "I don't see anything" said Magoomba looking away. As the apples fell like black boulders, I squeezed the trigger....

R. Hemingway
