    Looks fun, but don't you end up with salt all over the house?

    This is what I need & it looks like fun, not sure about all the salt though. would those cheapie 6mm pellet guns from GC be any good or could they still cause damage?

    The required accessory is a transmission laser sight. Dot on fly and whack

    My daughter gave me one for fathers day, and she should be paid commission for it as everyone that has seen it has bought one themselves.

    Yes, salt gets everywhere, so vacuum it up and shoot some more.

    I got one a while back, it hurts way less than an airsoft rifle.
    Lazer sight on the fly at 2m equals dead fly, blowies take two shots at times.
    The young fella heads outdoors and wipes a good number out. The dog follows for a snack. Which has to e way better thn the fly sprayed ones.

    Forgot to mention two amusing aspects - cocking them sounds like cocking a pump action shotgun, and with a laser sight, you can shoot from the hip if desired ;-)

    Be interesting to see the effect with a high speed camera up close.

    Cool

    Yes you do get a bit of salt , a mere pinch, but worth every bit , it has got sights which work fine , but I added the laser for extra fun, easy to sight in on silver foil , proper shotgun pattern , run out of flies to shoot , so taken to paper wasps , one shot gets them down but anther one point blank does the trick

    Personally for my situation a pinch of salt is better than treading on a million bbs , they would rebound all over I think

    Yours must be flasher than mine. 40cm is about the kill range limit. I use it at about 15cm not using the sight. Way better than a fly swot.

    My wife bought one for the family for Christmas (she really hates flies). super fun. always a race to grab it when a fly comes in. Will incapacitate a big blow fly from about 1m, but will need a finishing shot.
    It's been great to teach the kids good gun handling. 10 push ups for things like walking around with your finger on the trigger or not pointing it in a safe direction.
