Alligators are like Steven Seagal — cold-blooded, reptilian, and hard to kill. That's why pro gator hunters carry a bang stick, essentially a bullet chamber affixed to the end of a metal rod. There's no trigger: Simply remove the safety, jam the tip down hard just behind the gator's skull, and watch out for flying bone fragments! There are many types available, from a puny .22-caliber up to 12-gauge. We opted for a Dirty Harry special. Any punk swamp lizard that tries to attack us in the washroom is gonna wind up as matching boots, laptop bag, and Wiimote holster.
