Didn’t have much luck with it on them at my son’s place, but .22 shotshells dropped those suckers at surprising distance.

Switched to the .410 and my hit percentage went way up and my range more than doubled. Need to buy a bag of #11 or #12 shot to get the pattern density up more. Currently running 7.5s or 8s. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MpYmO3q.jpg)

I've got the original and use it several times a week to hold down the stink bug population. It seems to do a good job of a quick kill-- before they can squeeze off a load of stink. My sons got it for me for Christmas.
I had 70+ show up on the windows in the family room last fall. I finally said "screw it!" and brought out the canister vacuum. No THAT is how to rid yourselves of stink bugs. The only downside was it filled the room with stink bug stink and we had to put the vacuum out in the garage for a week.

A little more complicated, but I take .38 cases and drill the primer pocket( to prevent primer setback) prime, add 2 grains unique and a card wad. Then fill with crushed walnut cleaning media and another wad, slight roll crimp and go have fun. Minimal noise, won’t damage wood or paint and is hell on wasps and hornets out to about 4 ft. Wing shooting with a pistol is fun,

Got my pistol today, but haven't shot it yet. You are advised not to leave a gas cylinder inside the pistol over night because it will deteriorate the rubber seal. So, I am going to wait until there are more targets of opportunity on the back porch before I start shooting. The pistol has quite a bit of heft. Part plastic and part metal. Advertised as shooting salt at 425 fps. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/161717.jpg)
