It takes one hundred and seventy three badgers fired at 190mph at a rate of one every two seconds to sink a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

It takes four to disable a combat-ready soldier, and forty-three to penetrate the armour of a Challenger MkII tank. However, it takes just four to clog the barrell of the Challenger II.

One hundred and eighty thousand badgers were expended during World War II.
