I once told Jeff Quinn about seeing a leopard carry an impala up into a tree.
Jeff said, "Dang! Those are heavy cars!"

I have been stung by a hornet once. That hurt. Not sure it would do much to a car.

There was once an excellent article (guns & ammo ?) by ross seyfried on hunting smaller antelopes & various fowl for camp meat using period rook rifles, the .22 hornet & the .22 wmr. The federal 50 gr. .22 wmr was preferred but the several 40 gr. solids had their uses.

It would be nice to have those old articles available to view online....

Here is a seyfried article on loading the hornet.....
