It would not be my first choice but for the right terrain and person it might be an option. Thoughts..............  |
Never doubt a SEAL,, it's the details that get fuzzy..
Widely use by the more primitive mountain tribes. Short range, good for small monkeys, birds.

For portability? I think I would look at a good sling-shot and 1/4 or 3/8 steel balls.
