Shooting shotgun in suburbs

I just got this toy from Cabelas yesterday (on sale for $35) and it is FUN. It shoots salt in a birdshot-like spray. I have summer flies figuring out a way into my house and I needed a solution, lol. I used to have an electric flyswatter and that was also fun, but with this gun I get to hunt them. I'm getting ready for duck season. [emoji1787]

I bought one a couple of years ago for Blo-boat deliveries and it is a ton of fun to use. The first time we used it was after leaving Mac Island and we got swarmed by biting flies right away when we hit open water. We had a long running gun battle and went through a few salt reloads trying to kill anything that flew. By the time we got to Leland we had hundreds of dead flies and a decent layer of salt in the cockpit. I had a few offers from other boaters to purchase it after they saw what it did and how easy it is to kill the little biting insects.

As an update, it's stupid deadly. I'm going to have to go seeking flies because there aren't anymore in the house. The floor beneath the windows looked like the aftermath of a war.

My wife thought buying the Bug A Salt was a stupid idea. That was until there was a fly in the kitchen that she couldn't get to but I was able shoot it out of the nook it was hiding in.
I've used it on flies, moths, and even a spider.
