This is a fun toy but $40 on sale is ridiculous.

You can buy a Crosman Vigilante for a little more and have a pellet pistol and bug salt gun.

I have a few of them, original ones bought at Sams club for maybe $12 each. Then last year Lowes had the 2.5 version with laser. They went on clearance for $8 each, so got a few. Overall, a great outdoor item to have. lol
Been killing black widows with mine. Make sure you get the salt that's made for this gun, makes a huge difference compared to regular table salt.

You go ahead and share earth god healing energies with flies and mosquitoes in your house. I'll keep killing mine and having a blast while doing it.

Pleasure in killings leads to bigger issues. I kill bugs when I have to but I don't get pleasure in that.

Quote from fritzo :
I've bought two of these over the years and it's like you have to get within 12" of a fly to kill it. Are these any better?

Not sure what version you have but mine is a 3.0 (I think, at least those are the last characters on the sticker under the gun near the trigger). I went outside just now to shoot some flies near my trash bins. Measured the distance and can say for certain that I do not need to be within 12". 2 feet is probably ideal - close enough not to spook the fly and but not so close that they're impossible to chase down. The instant kill rate drops after about 2.5 feet. At 3 feet, I'd say maybe 25%-50% chance of one-shot kill, depending on aim. By around 3.5 feet, almost no effect, though it does at least scatter them.

One thing to note is you have to pump/reload with the gun parallel to the ground (reservoir lid pointed up). The woman kept complaining that it doesn't work, but I noticed she was reloading like she was in an action movie (pointing gun upward). Little to no salt ends up in the chamber this way, and she immediately had more success after adjusting technique.

... I am way too into this gun...

Why do people want salt all over their house? Fly swatters work really well unless you're special.

Don't enjoy eating any food. It had to be killed before it ended up on your plate. Make each meal a mourning opportunity, a memorial service.

Vegetables are even worse. I laugh when vegans say there doing it to save life. The death toll to grow an avocado in California then sell it in NYC is GREAT

Interesting. How's it perform?
You have to be fairly close to the fly but if you are it works
