Subsonic ammo looks like a good bet. The soda bottle thing -- a website says it doesn't work and the youtube thing sure sounded like it worked. Worth a trip to the range.

And what's with chicks in bikinis firing automatic weapons? Is this a fetish I missed out on having? I noticed that the camera(man) kept the focus on the dancing boobies rather than where the bullets were going (downrange, presumably).

The websites don't test with Sub-Sonic, the Youtube link is a proper sealed rig....it works.

You may end up wanting more than one or two.

I suspect a 22 unless the sniper has a lot of punch might be a little light for a beaver.

Agreed ... in highschool I had a semi auto .22 sniper rifle (it could be disassembled and the stock became the case). It took a whole clip to down a full grown ground hog in our field.

The .22LR sub-sonics have heavier bullets that make them sub-sonic some are 60grains, they have more than enough energy to kill Mr. Beaver @ 50 yards.

People should not compensate for poor marksmanship with a bigger load, most people know my motto "keep it lite and shoot it right". Refer back to the P90 thread when people want this massive firepower while anyone skilled knows that a little plinker in the head is what the doctor ordered.

So where would you place the bullet to kill mr. beaver with one shot? Between the eyes?

And you would be correct.

Head shot at 25 - 50 yds. That's how I shoot squirrels.

I would use a .22 for a backyard beaver problem, but not dealing with ponds that cost $15-$30K to build. They are a pestilence here.
