SIL had one. Wasn't powerful enough to kill a fly. I heard they came out with a new improved model.

This is the 3.0 version. It will raise a whelp if shot at a person at short range.

Are they powerful enough to go thru the kids jeans?

My son gave me one of those a couple years ago, lots of fun. Shoots spiders on the ceiling.
But I think you got the racist model? "Black Fly Edition" Also known as "The BFE"

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

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.

Bought myself one late this past summer. Didn't even have to go through an FFL, ( not yet, anyway). Because it is an actual ASSALT Weapon, after all. Got the optional little red dot laser that mounts just under the muzzle. Used a sheet of aluminum foil to test the pattern while zeroing. Like shotgun pattern testing; the salt pattern leaves its mark on the foil. By the time it was ready the fly season was about over. Only got to use it a few times; but it was fun. Effective range doesn't seem like more than about 2 feet but it works. I'm only using it outdoors to avoid the salt messing up the house. Looking forward to spring now that the thing is zeroed; just put red dot on the fly and pull trigger. And so far there have been no ammo availability or price increase issues either.

Had one for a year now. Eight year old granddaughter stalks around the patio hunting any insect or a each his she can see. Shoot a cricket on the opposite side of a screen from ten inches and it launches the bug twenty feet. My boys are each getting one for Christmas. $35 at Bass Pro on sale a couple weeks ago.

I'd like to be able to knock them for a loop as they hover above me. 22lr or 22mag shotshells. Thank me later. Dad used to put a couple pumps in his Benjamin pellet pistol (w/o a pellet). When he found a fly in the house he'd wait till he saw it on the window screen and he'd get up close to the fly and touch it off. Pushed the fly through the screen.

I discovered that as a kid with my Crossman pump gun. Used it a lot. But you have to get very close.
