Sorry, saw the headline and couldn't help but share.

K5 rabbit virus an early success with deaths at release sites, CSIRO researchers say - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Reminds my of a book I saw in Spain a few years ago - "1080 Recipes" (Yes, it was a proper recipe book!)

For those who move in more genteel circles, 1080 is a poison used for rabbits (among other feral pests). And it also works on humans according to a researcher who accidently (I would like to know how) ingested some. I don't think throwing a K-5 at rabbits would work nearly as well.

Throwing a K-5 wont work because it's not focusing the target fast enough to catch the rabbit
