Hmm. Could be interesting... I was issued a .45 "grease gun" ("fire
hose" might have been a more accurate moniker) that I later
surrendered for an M-16 that amazed me by actually hitting what I
aimed it at. I liked it well enough that when I left the service I
went out and bought a Colt "Sporter-1" (AR-15) and added a 3-9X
Bushnell scope.

In spite of the relatively short barrel, the Sporter-1 makes a fairly
good hunting rifle. At one point I took a year of educational leave
from IBM and the Sporter-1 (along with a Browning 20ga) did a first
class job of keeping meat on the table.

For stopping power in close quarters (or rearranging the furniture) it
was pretty hard to beat 600 rpm of 45's at close range from the grease
gun...
