My New A Salt Rifle

[shootinthecinders]

That looks like a lot of fun JEBar! Our local Sam’s Club had a bunch of them. Have you brought down any deer flies, etc. while they were flying? What’s the lethal distance? Hope you have lots of kills; especially if it’s a buggy summer in your part of the country.

out to 3 feet seems to be the effective range .... at 1 foot they hit the fly so hard it leaves a blood smear .... I've hit a bunch that were taking off, don't recall hitting one coming in for a landing .... have hit a few cottonwood seeds floating by ... I've popped a good number of what we call horseflies .... they are big, they bite, and it takes them out just as efficiently as it does a common housefly ....

After I looked at the link earlier in this thread, I later got a pop-up window of a demo. Sure is a deadly "insect assault" rifle! And it looks like it really effectively does the job it was designed to do.

How much salt is initially loaded? Don't need the grains, but in ounces or teaspoons?

Maybe this is a dumb question. I'd say this would be much more suited for outdoor use rather than any indoor use? I'm curious if there is a lot of salt cleanup after a shot is made taking down an insect?

All-in-all, it is a cool tool.

[JEBar]

cool tool indeed .. .. haven't measured the amount of salt it holds but it is less than half of what the regular size salt shaker on our table holds .... they say 80 shots per filling .... you could use it inside but we don't so no cleanup has been necessary .... OK, my wife made that determination .. .. we are slated to attend a picnic this coming Sunday, I've volunteered to guard the watermelon .. ..

Ya, right. Who is going to protect the watermelon from you?

that has yet to be determined ..

Can you get that in full semi auto?

.... not that I know of .... it has a pretty stiff pump action .. .. much stiffer than an 870 Remington ..
