Wouldn't the plastic bullet gum up a barrel?
My best advice for rattlesnakes is to stop, observe and move away. I was bitten several years ago by a 6 footer, 13 rattles..when I tried to pet it. They are rarely aggressive..they want to alert you to their presence so you won't step on them. Mostly they coil in place and you have time to remove yourself from the area. When I was being treated for my foolish act the plastic surgeon I talked with said of the many snake encounters she sees every year here in Arizona that people who drew guns in their excitement usually shot them selves in the leg/groin area more than snakes biting them. She treated many more gunshots than snake bites!
