"I would imagine it would make a decent "snake gun", presumably up to around 10 to 12 feet."
I think you're right about that, I used to carry snake loads in my .45 colt, or I did until I thought to try them out on a beer can, had to sneak right up on that booger before it had any effect... damn snake would have to be right about between your knees before you could kill it..
