A classic thread. All it needs now is for Larry/Big Stick to jump in and tell us how to really use an a-salt gun.

I spent more time on the website trying to kill that pesky fly than I did reading the product specs.
Finally got the little bastid!

This thread is a good test to see who actually reads the original post. No doubt!

I have not used a bug a salt gun but am very interested. What is the effective range? I suppose, for long range shots, I can return to using the Red Ryder but I have to use some care to avoid collateral damage. I have been thinking airsoft but wonder about accuracy as well as whether or not the plastic pellets would be environmentally friendly. Looking for minute of fly at 30 feet or so. GD

GD from my own experience the BUG-A-SALT has a maximum range of about six inches.....even less if the varmint has a light shell like a lady bug. Possibly if you wait a bit they will come out with a BUG-A-SALT magnum....it would shoot whole peppercorns to amazing new distances.....

I wish these existed back in the 90's. I was living in a 1 bedroom apartment in Plant City Florida. The banana spiders down there were the size of coasters. The first one I hit with a rolled up magazine against hte ceiling made such a mess I had to paint the ceiling in that spot! I went to K-mart and bought a spring fired plastic ball shooting replica of a S&W model 39. I had more fun that summer shooting spiders in the apartment than I did hunting outside!

Do you think Bug-A Salt will do a special run with a number two barrel and a special salt grinder? In left hand of course?

Six inches, what kind of flys you shootin'? I have about a 24" range on house flys and spiders with mine loaded with Morton table salt. Box elder, stink bugs and wasps are tougher and require a point blank range shot or a load of Bug A Salt buck shot......aka kosher salt. It penetrates better but patterns are not as dense.

I've seen them advertised and have been on their web site and they seem pretty cool. Looks like something I could have a lot of fun with come summer. The aforementioned Creedmore variant would be interesting and a Magnum model for increased range would be nice. Wonder if I could chronograph one of those things?, LOL.

Here is the bug-a-salt when just getting started. https://newatlas.com/bug-a-salt-salty-pest-control/23443/This site sees a lot of new concepts, inventions, products.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Numerically the AK but I don't think it's because people wanted it. It's what they could get for 2 chickens and half a pack of Newports.
As far as people purchasing something because it's what they want... probably the AR. A bunch of surplus nagants and 1898s out there.
