Well folks, it’s that time again. When we all gather around and think of new ways to fight back against the annual orange winter squash menace. 

The venerable Hickok 45 kicks off things with a suppressed FN 545 in .45 ACP, masterfully carving a jack o' lantern by hand the old-fashioned way, passed down from the Tennessee volunteers of yesterday. 
 

This is followed up by his Pumpkin Killing Methods, vol. XIII. He really hates pumpkins. Like really hates them. The toothbrush is the best, in our opinion.  
 

Dorr and Coch over at the Tactical Hive raided a patch and gave it a decent caliber test to see what the most effective round on pumpkin was, because serious research on stuff like this is needed. Remember: don't bring a pistol to a pumpkin fight!

Edwin Sarkissian showed he wasn't playing around and started off with a brace of serious big bore wheel guns, then capped it off with an M67 frag. 

Speaking of explosives, Jake with Ordnance Lab spent days trying to convert innocent pumpkins into explosive Halloween lawn ornaments. Yes, the Jack O' Lantern Land Mine. 

Umarex's Breanna Garvey went out to carve some pumpkins with the company's Gauntlet 30,  Brimstone pellets, and some Firebird targets. 

I.T.T defended their turf from a downright pumpkin invasion. 

There's always the timeless Mossberg 500 pumpkin-on-pedestal shoot we did a little while back with the help of a classic 1985 Honda 200cc Big Red 3-wheeler.

And, to cap it all off, we have Guns.com's very own Ronbo going to town on a rack of "Alien Pumpkins" he ran across in Area 51. Weapon of choice? A full-fun Tommy gun, because Ronbo. 

Be safe out there. You never know, this time of year.
