Instead of a rifle, how about a shotgun? It fires a nice wide spread shot pattern. I think you would be much more likely to do some damage (ie: knock fiber off a pole) with something like that. Here in New Jersey it is illegal to use a rifle to hunt deer, so typically you will find hunters using a bow/arrow or Shotgun and you will see a lot of road signs (or other abandon junk) that
has been victim of a shotgun blast.

50 years ago I carried around the .22 slug I dug out of the lead-sheathed cable while troubleshooting the outer marker for McClellan AFB in the middle of a rainy night.
