    I got my gun today and after it was cocked I pushed the safety button per directions on the box. Wouldn't fire so after several tries I came to UA-cam and found your video. Close to the beginning you showed both sides of the safety. Immediately I checked my gun and saw the safety release. Duh (this was not pictured on the box) Once I released the safety the gun worked fine. I deleted my post since the issue was resolved but soon noticed you had already replied. Quickly. Thank you! Unfortunately I could not find a single fly to kill today but I'm sure they'll show up. This old lady is ready to have some fun. Thanks again. 😊

    I use mine on wasps but yea, you gotta get close and usually requres a double tap.. a single shot is usually enough to tear off their wings and render them less of a flying menace. You have to head shot them or come from the side and aim just below where the wings connect to the body.. will 100% tear off a wing and make him a helpless victim to a follow up attack.

    I can a will back dude up on the wasp targets. This gun only stuns them and slightly messes up their wings. But they still live and can still fly but they fly away because they have taken to much damage. Buutttttt, if you extend the barrel some and taper it down slightly, and stretch the spring mech which drives the plunge or fire maker, then you get more power. I just got one of these this morning and already upped the power with a bit of papper at the end. But this toy functions like old airsoft guns so once I get to the spring I can add more power. Stay tuned.

    In my experience the 2.5 works more so as a shotgun with a wider spread were as the 3.0 acts more like a rifle because the salt is more condensed, however, both are very effective but I'm trying to narrow it down to which one is the most effective/does more damage and or stronger in general. What are your thoughts since this video was posted/all around with the time you've had to fiddle with both???

    • @AroundTheHome1
      @AroundTheHome1  2 роки тому +5

      Well I don't have the 2.5, but my neighbor does. And we have both hung our around the smoker and shot the flies. I guess I didn't pay that much attention to the salt spray. I just really like the safety change on the 3.0. That's what really stands out for me.

      @@AroundTheHome1 Agreed, and the more compact lighter design is a noticeable difference too. My only complaint would be that the trigger is a little too stiff. Now don't gemme wrong I'm a country man and I HUNT (not go around just shooting anything that moves with a Budweiser in my hand like a lot of people love to perpetuate the stereotypes/lable us incompetent, belligerent, and or just down right ignorant. It doesn't work that way people we have rules to follow, safety courses, and seasonal times that allow you to hunt certain animals and when we do we use EVERYTHING from said animal so that nothing is wasted and so that we hold a certain level of respect to mother nature and whatever we can't use we turn it into dog food, clothes/pelts, and ect) not KILL aimlessly, my apologies for sidetracking, so it's not like I can't use it but when I apply the force to fire, and due to it's lightweight design, it makes it a TAD difficult to line up the sights before making the shot.

    This keeps on coming up on my radar to get since I live on a farm(horsefly's are popping up now) and something with range aside from my pistol swatter would be more useful since the swatter part is on a string so it can't go that far(roughly 2 1/2ft). I only use spray's when it's a nest but the occasional wonderer of annoyance comes my way(especially in my house) I wanna blast it with not as much damage to my house.

      The sweet spot is between 2 and 3 feet. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but the standard house flies that bother you when you are grilling normally sit still and are easy to pick off like that. The full effective range is under 6 feet. You really aren't going to kill anything further out then that. Even though that still doesn't sound like a lot, trust me you will get rid of all those pesky pests and have a great time doing so.

      You know, you are not the only one that has asked this. It is something that I would never have thought of had it not been for viewers asking. There are no adverse effects of using this gun. It uses only a pinch of salt per shot, actually not even that much. I have even used it to shoot the flies that end up hanging out in my kitchen around the window. I have 3 small plants there, so if there were any problems they would show it. There have been no problems whatsoever.

      @fred jimbob you are not the only person with this concern. I have tested it to prove that it does not shoot enough salt to harm anything. I even have 3 small potted plants in my kitchen window. This summer was bad about flies, and instead of trying to hit them with a fly swatter I shot them with the Bug A Salt gun. I did this to see if it was an ok idea to use indoors, and to see how it might effect plants at close range. It's not bad for using indoors. There is a little salt debris to clean up, but not bad. And there was no reaction from the plants. This thing is about as safe as safe can be.
