That's true and it is the solution many public and private monster hunters adopt.

It is, however, probably unsuitable for my Brazilian hunters (7.62x39mm is not made locally and neither popular with soldiers, cops or criminals; most Brazilian tactical shooters seem to favour 7.62x51mm when given a choice) and I had planned to have the security contractors secretly backed by the Vatican using SIG SG 550/552/553 rifles, given that the leadership there is mostly former Swiss Guard.
