I've wanted one for years. I'd love to try it on the carpenter bees that plague my back deck every spring. I'd like to be able to knock them for a loop as they hover above me. I liked the with pellet gun with no pellet

What are the long term effects of spraying salt all over your house?
Does the kosher salt prevent Muslim flies from entering paradise?

Go buy some kosher salt for it. Makes quite a bit of difference in killing power. Good to know. 🦫

While it’s not an inside toy, for most anyway, a .22 cal airgun charged with some #12 birdshot is a serious bug killer. Use a cleaning pellet on both ends of the shot charge. Cabbage whites beware!
Dip the wads in melted lard for bugs that follow the Religion of Peace.

Holy crap, that's a great idea. I've got one that should work perfectly. Now to buy some #12 shot. I think I already have the .22 caliber cleaning wads.

Terrible cocking mechanism. Hurts my finger every time I cock it. Way too loud also.
