Did anyone find a good laser or sight to go on this? I am thinking laser for the close in shot, a sight wouldn't focus that close?

nice. i wonder if shooting the shredder up a hooker's asshole. would count as BDSM?

never use your bug-a-salt inside the home or around any metals that corrode if in contact with salt, many of my once shiny metal objects now appear old, worn and well corroded.

I am so glad I found this video. I was considering a Shredder but 125 is kind of highway robbery. Lo and behold I have a vigilante already sitting in my case never used.

This is the major draw back to this gun is a huge design flaw. They need to make this gun without dependency on buying cartridges…. This is why I won’t buy it!

How many shots do you usually get out of one co2?

How does someone contact you privately for business purposes?

I screwed up and left salt cartridges in my Vigilante. Discovered rust around and in the barrel. Has this happened to anyone else? What’s the best method for repairing the damage? 0:15

Hey man, nice demo! I'm glad I looked for this before I tried my crazy idea because I think you saved me a step of trial and error. I suspect the barrel is too long allowing the gas to outrun the shot before it leaves the barrel (this is an actual factor in matching real shotgun loads with barrel length). I have an MPX that I was willing to sacrifice so after seeing this I chopped the barrel to match the 9.5" of the shredder as that seems to be the one that performs the best (they make one with a 10 inch barrel but I already have this one so...) My results were fantastic. Equivalent or superior to yours with the shredder at 3' from the muzzle. I will note, however, that you are correct about the possibility of fouling the internals. Salt does indeed seem to very quickly built up inside the top of the magwell, so we'll see how long it runs, but I won't be surprised if some o-rings stop working in there before too long. We'll see 😊😊

What type of paper is that?

Thanks again for another well done video. After watching reload v4, I was thinking about different types of loads too and there your video was! Curious if you ground the corncob yourself, or if you purchased it like that, and if so, which brand/type did you get? Thanks

Thanks again for a well thought out video. I've been binging your bug gun vids. I'm only about half way through (mainly watched the Shred-er reload ones so far, and this one cuz I didn't know what a Salt-Swat was). So far, here's my thoughts on some of the questions and comments on what to get for those on a budget. As you state, if only one, get a 3.0 (with the Bug-a-beam, as it makes is much more effective). And perfect for around the house or even outside for occasional pest requirements. Once in CO2 territory, I'm thinking to use the Vigilante that I already have and reloading the cartridges with salt. With your tape methods, I can use different size salt (been using a table salt/kosher salt mix in my 3.0) but with the slurry method, I can effectively get a slug for the tough to kill bugs. Also, the Vigilante has a pic rail under the barrel to install a laser sight (I've taken 2 mice with mine) 🙂 Again, thanks for all the research and work. I'll probably learn more with the rest of your vids. Cheers 🙂

Wow, nice job! I had watched some of your earlier Bug-a-Salt videos but just came across this one. Thanks for doing all the research and testing. The Shred-er is expensive in Canada but I already have a Vigilante so will try your salt reloads in it. You may have covered this in another video but I'll pose the question here then go watch the rest but have you found a significant difference in spread between the Shred-er's smooth barrel and the Vigilante's rifled barrel?

Great video! I have a couple things to add. I've had my 3.0 for a couple years now. Bug-a-beam: totally worth it. Helps if you need to reach or shoot at an angle where you can't really aim with the sights. And if trying to take out something large, you can be sure to be more accurate getting it into the centre of the spread. Came to same conclusion as you. Get the 3.0 if that's the only one you get. The Shredd-er is great if you have larger pests (like wasps) to take out but besides being a big too powerful for indoor use (or against something with a finish you care about), you'll need to use up the CO2 once you load it because it will leak over a few days. Whereas the regular Bug-a-Salt is just pump when you need it. As for window screens, I inadvertently came across another test. Tape a sheet of aluminum foil to the screen then shoot it from different ranges and see how far it punches the foil into the screen. The issue is if you shoot an insect on that screen, you might have a more difficult clean-up job if you punch it too hard and squish it in between the screen wires. Hope that helps someone with a purchase decision. 3.0 with Bug-a-Beam will likely cover 95% of use cases for 90% of urban folks.

I just put a piece of duct tape on the flat side, fill with salt, drop of water to dissolve the salt, top back up the salt and water if need be, let dry and voilla! Brand new rounds!

Can you make a salt/bug gun from a paintball gun?

I just made this comment on the Sig MCX video, but more appropriate here. Have you heard of using a more powerful PCP pistol like the Benjamin Marauder with Salt Swat? More expensive but seems like it has to be better, with much higher muzzle velocity and with no wasted CO2 cartridges. The only issue I see is the clip that secures the Salt Swat to the barrel won't be compatible. Probably could rig up something. Either tape or a bungee cord immediately come to mind until you can figure out something more aesthetically pleasing.

Please try a PCP gun like the Benjamin Marauder. It's 22 caliber so I assume would work with Salt-Swat? But much higher muzzle velocity! And don't have to worry about wasting CO2 cartridges.

If u just do the cut without refinishing it only took mine 2 days from the time they received it until they shipped it back to me which I couldn’t believe.

Great drills, why just 10 round magazines?

Could you reload these cartridges on your own ?

Do you think that the shreader would kill a wasp ?

I can see owning this is not practical enough.... even if your with buying all the CO2 Orings, and ammo... still not practical enough for the simple purpose.

Great video. I can say this 100% convinced me. I’ve researched Reddit and many, many others on who should I send my slide to be milled by….and battlewerx came up as the deepest cut possible, with the pegged screw holes…and my last bit of quandary was the tightness of the fit. Hopefully, that’s not just due to the cerakote….as I’m wanting mine done in nitride, which is never as thick as cerakote. And, I’m sending in the eps carry Mrs I bought from the lgs down the street, as battlewerx is currently out of em to sell me along with my optic cut. So, I will send it in with my slide to be mounted by them. And, will make sure to order up a few extra sets of screws!!!

I used ultra thin rolling papers. Worked like a charm

Why was there no black ratchet centre on this disc? Do you remove it for the vigilante?

Ill just buy the factory ammo..

Instead of a dropper try a misting spray bottle

Some random thoughts and observations: I would love to hear more about exactly what ratio of cornstarch to salt. Wondering about the alcohol suggestion compared to water, and wondering if cornstarch is still necessary as a binding agent. I've seen sugar water suggested as the binding agent, but I do not recommend that simply because having sugar scattered all over your home can attract ants. If using paper, are you putting the glue on the paper now, or are you still rubbing it on the cartridge as in the earlier videos? Couldn't see the target results very well in this video compared to some of the others, would suggest having the target not backlit by the sun at that time of day. I'm assuming you get far more shots out of the shredder versus the Umarex HDR50? Thank you again for making these entertaining and informative videos, and to all the other viewers who have been contributing.

Even though I haven't personally tested it, my feeling is that if you remove the divider, yes you will get a more compact harder hitting projectile load, but you will sacrifice spread, which may not be desirable if you are trying to hit an elusive target.

I have some interest in hearing protection, having lived with tinnitus for 20 years. If anything is making your ears ring at all, your hearing is at risk of being permanently degraded. Wear appropriate your protection! You only have one set of ears.

I was thinking what if you mix a little hot wax with the salt and load with that how would that work? I think it would work pretty good or at least be interesting.

??? crosman use lothar walther barrels....

Smaller barrel has less penetration😂

Garbage. You will be wasting your money. Doesn't kill anything. It's weak. I was hoping it was going to be cool but I assure you that it is junk. I am hoping that I can prevent at least one person from wasting their money

4:25 This was the “Hot for words” song! Dance 💃

Do you think Salt Swat would work on the Beeman p17? Or would the power of the salt shot be weak?

Is it worth the money?

Hello lightfighter

Would it not be easier to just get the inside and outside diameter of the paper on cylinder and precut the paper.

Plastic bar is probably also a way to deter people from trying to shoot BB ammo through the Shred-er

Can you shoot sand instead of salt? I want to use it to shoot flying moths that lay eggs in our garden. Getting salt into the soil is probably a bad idea.

can you use acetone 100% ?

Save yourself about half and just buy the crossman bb gun cuz it’s exactly the same lol. Everything works to shoot salt as well.

So what is your prefreance use the paper cutter or the water mix. thanks

Thats what she said lol

I had this issue with my first magazine. It happened when I would cock the hammer, but then drop the hammer after not shooting. Usually when the fly got away before I could line up the shot. Just someone to keep in mind when using this.

Used your technique to load for a Vigilante because I wanted more power than my Bug a salt. Wanted even more power and range for yellowjackets. Bought a Crosman 1077 with extra magazines so now I have a rifle salt gun. The only caveat-the 12 shot mags aren’t flush so drilled some holes in plexiglass, lay a paper towel on top, sit the cartridges over the holes so they sit flush. A little more challenging to load but well worth the effort.

Can use any salt in it?

Have you found a good way to clean the barrel after shooting all that salt? Don’t want it to rust up
