A Salt Rifle

[Kanewpadle]

Don't laugh. This thing works. Take a fly out of commission easily.

I don't think I would shoot salt inside my house. But on the front porch? Yeah! You can find it on Amazon. And there's a pretty good video tutorial too.

Yes, but are they legal in California, Massachusetts and New York?

I've had one for a couple of years.

I figured out, that it would take the wings off of red wasps, when we had a bad infestation. Must have blasted several hundred of them.

One important thing for the shooter, getting one, didn't make the nearby wasps angry, as swatting at them can do.

Great fun...……….

Great fun!

I got my granddaughter one. Now she takes care of spiders herself.

 

[Mule Packer]

Got all four of our grown kids one last Christmas. Made a big hit with everyone...especially the grandkids. My two younger boys (ages 44 and 41) acted like the biggest kids of all. They immediately set up targets drawn on pieces of aluminum foil and practiced patterning their new "weapons."

I thought you were going to show pictures of an old Browning rifle. I think I read that they had some problems with salt at some point.

Is that the large capacity semi-automatic A Salt Rifle I hear so much about?

Why yes. Yes it is. Bug Lives Matter too!

I was expecting that too...thought I was going to see a photo of a T-Bolt...

Nope, they're are all pump action. I've had one for a couple of years and would love to see a semi or full auto version.

They work best on soft skinned bugs like flies or spiders, any thing with hard shells like beetles or centipedes require more then one shot....which can be dangerous if they charge you.

I never had one but wondering if sand could be used instead of salt...... It's a lost less corrosive.

I wouldn't worry too much about shooting a centipede more than once. Any judge worth his salt would dismiss the charges and rule that the centipede didn't have a leg to stand on.

A Salt rifle

I find that Kosher salt works fine too, and has some bigger chunks.
The patterning does suffer some though.
Not a long range weapon, I call it a skeet gun not a rifle.

If it works on wasps I'm buying one cause we've had whole lot of wasps this year! Just curious what holds the salt in the barrel? I have an old pellet pistol that I don't shoot because I have several better ones but if I could make up some salt loads for wasps and spiders that might be fun since it probably has more power than the plastic Bug-a-salt gun. Maybe if I rammed one of the felt pellet gun bore cleaners down the barrel about six inches, then put in the proper amount of salt and another felt wad on top? I could use table salt for the small bugs and the larger Sea Salt for the big game.

That is not an "A salt rifle".

It's far worse. It is an "A salt" scattergun.

True, it's more a shotgun then rifle.....

Back porch entertainment at its best! My wife gave me one for Father's Day last year. Many an flying pest have met their demise at the end of the muzzle of my Bug-a-Salt!

A "skeeter beater" for sure!

 

[Eric300]

I love mine. I have 3 of them! The original yel/blk. and 2 of the 'new/improved' gry/blk models. The newer model has much more 'ooph', a better trigger, slimmer design, and, no perk safety that activates every time to pump the action like on the original model. Jjust pump and shoot. No crawling or flying insect around my house is safe!

Using the name A-Salt rifle could get it banned too!
