Wife bought me a new toy!
Wife bought me this for my birthday. I have been having a blast killing every fly I can find. Even tried to attract the little buggers so I have targets to shoot. Shoots plain table salt, like a mini shotgun. I know, I know simple things for simple minds.

I have one in "Camo" so I can sneak up on the little buggers. Use it by the grill and can salt the burgers at the same time.

I've been meaning to add one of these to the armory. I like the price of the ammo, too.

My concern about those is the salt being spread around. As salt will kill grass, flowers, etc. A few years ago I discovered carpenter bees had started making holes in our front porch. I am a firearms owner, hand loader and occasional caster of my own bullets. (I am not trying to create the dreaded gun thread, so bare with me). I ran across a discussion on a gun board about carpenter bee loads. I got onboard and had a blast. I use 38 spl, .8 grains of Blue Dot, and crushed walnut out of the tumbler. I would drop in the powder, us a wadding made from a manila folder, fill the case of crushed walnut and tamp another wadding on top. That wadding would occasionally let go and dump the crushed walnut in my Ruger Gp100. So I started using candle wax to seal the "round". I have blasted carpenter bees, wasps, dirt daubers, etc. I got to have too much fun with it. I set up a test range with different powder loads in .1 grain increments tested on printer paper and settled on the .8 grain powder load.

Another license to apply for and another RV concern about traveling across state lines.

Let me know how many times you guys have to shoot a horse fly or deer fly with it to kill them. I haven't been able to do it yet and have had to resort to a fly swatter. And that's just not as fun. I haven't figured out if I'm too close, not close enough or what to them. Or maybe my gun is just defective and it's not operator error...

What kind of salt are you using? Can you use sea salt? Or larger?

Directions that came with mine said to use normal table salt, so that's what I did. Don't know if it will take larger grains of salt. I will have to empty the little salt container on it and check out the hole size. Hmm....

Regular table salt only. If you are at an angle you must be close but straight on it's good to almost 12". The amount of salt it uses could not hurt any lawn. Practice on a sheet of paper to see the size of the pattern at different distances. The DW says that the only difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys..... After a deer fly or green head draws blood ..... revenge is sweet.

The amount of salt it uses is minimal at best. You get about 50 shots on a tablespoon of salt. I guess if there were a 100 of these running around a campsite at the same time they might be able to find some salt somewhere.
I spill more salt at the grill.
Now if I can get this Red Dot sight mounted.
