You know it.

@nana820able Glad you got that situated. If you have a grill, fire it up and you will have plenty of flies to shoot.

Is Nana gonna toke a little and shoot some flies?! 🙂

How do you know he almost said that?lol

Hes probably a american barbeque dad that works as a mechanic and knows about classic muscle cars and guns and ammunition hence "standard issue house flies"

@@Billy.Nomates if youd actually watched the video instead of chaos skipping to the comments you would know

You know, I will try that out this summer. See if I can down a few of those flying ba*@#rds.

This comment reminded me of starship troopers.

They have the shredder co2 powered for bigger bugs

If you use a coarse ground salt it greatly increases knock down power for things like wasps.

Looking for a place to get that in Europe..

Glad you enjoyed it. If it gets clogged, here is that video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ermUjKd-0LuVpGg.html

You are going to love it.

They are really fun, but double check the model number first. The ones at my Lowe's are the older model with the more cumbersome safety switch. Here is an Amazon link for the newer model, which I show in this video. www.amazon.com/BUG-A-SALT-3-0-Yellow/dp/B089CDCCR1?crid=24W7TCWBG7TSZ&keywords=bug+a+salt+gun+4.0&qid=1657625979&sprefix=bug+a+salt%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-11&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=fc8921f49c90c2c5303cd292914866dd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Well I don't have the 2.5, but my neighbor does. And we have both hung our around the smoker and shot the flies. I guess I didn't pay that much attention to the salt spray. I just really like the safety change on the 3.0. That's what really stands out for me.

@@AroundTheHome1 Agreed, and the more compact lighter design is a noticeable difference too. My only complaint would be that the trigger is a little too stiff. Now don't gemme wrong I'm a country man and I HUNT (not go around just shooting anything that moves with a Budweiser in my hand like a lot of people love to perpetuate the stereotypes/lable us incompetent, belligerent, and or just down right ignorant. It doesn't work that way people we have rules to follow, safety courses, and seasonal times that allow you to hunt certain animals and when we do we use EVERYTHING from said animal so that nothing is wasted and so that we hold a certain level of respect to mother nature and whatever we can't use we turn it into dog food, clothes/pelts, and ect) not KILL aimlessly, my apologies for sidetracking, so it's not like I can't use it but when I apply the force to fire, and due to it's lightweight design, it makes it a TAD difficult to line up the sights before making the shot.

@@scorpioriddick that’s why you 3D print an adapter for a buffer tube and butt stock :) nice proper cheek weld

Tighter choke like on a real shotgun allows for longer range shots with more accuracy and stopping power; 3.0 is my choice.

That's great, but if you do get a clog here is my video on that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ermUjKd-0LuVpGg.html

@MisterMann these guns are fun and pretty effective at the same time. I have not had the chance to use them against horse flies though. We very rarely get them around here. If you invest in one I would say get the 3.0 like this one www.amazon.com/BUG-A-SALT-3-0-Yellow/dp/B089CDCCR1?content-id=amzn1.sym.a15c61b7-4b93-404d-bb70-88600dfb718d%3Aamzn1.sym.a15c61b7-4b93-404d-bb70-88600dfb718d&crid=DLID8HCIGB8H&cv_ct_cx=bug+a+salt&keywords=bug+a+salt&pd_rd_i=B089CDCCR1&pd_rd_r=b5acd3c3-c341-4181-92dd-05d381348c15&pd_rd_w=BxJ3h&pd_rd_wg=y2Cvy&pf_rd_p=a15c61b7-4b93-404d-bb70-88600dfb718d&pf_rd_r=AF9EHDQS8PMNSBYA8X2V&qid=1660396985&sprefix=bug+a+salt%2Caps%2C110&sr=1-2-a73d1c8c-2fd2-4f19-aa41-2df022bcb241-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNUQ3R1g2RTlYV0E2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjI1NTA4MlVYTThPU0M2RlBCVSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTc1NDI3Mkg1QkUzQVYySFlJRCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3NlYXJjaF90aGVtYXRpYyZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU%3D&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=0643a444661d0b5862511c2498f1abab&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl Or for a lot more power and fun they have a Co2 powered revolver.

That's a good tip. I always leave mine unloaded because I worry about the springs wearing out. It's the same way I leave my Nerf guns.

Well, it's no joke. I feel it is a must have if you are outdoor grilling.

I wondered about that. I have not tried the original, and I know there were some good upgrades from 2.5. I am honestly impressed with this one and it is a ton of fun.

I waited for the new and improved 3.0 version. I just ordered it today and can’t wait!

That all sounds fun, but no.

You know, I normally just go after them in a 3 feet range. I will have to try longer range and see how it goes.

Two words, Hell Yes!

Also, I did a test. I shot mine with salt at a paper bag, and then I shot using raw sugar. The sugar granules were more defined and did more damage when shooting at the bag.

Thanks for the info

I have tried it on them. They are tough, and one shot isn't going to do it. If you can keep with them, and hit them again you can ground them and finish the job.

Sounds like fun!

@@AroundTheHome1 It is fun. It would be more fun if I could nail a moth from 5 ft or so.

They have a C02 powered revolver that will take care of big bugs. www.amazon.com/Bug-A-Salt-Shred-Er-BUG-A-SALT-Starter-Kit/dp/B09SL491F6?crid=HYCI5Z3GVH7E&keywords=bug+a+salt+gun+4.0&qid=1681655859&sprefix=bug+a+%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-10&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=e48142e6421c2c0561ae3562df5c25f2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

I haven't tried anything like that, but I would have to say no. I would imagine that cockroaches are too tough for it. Now they have a CO2 powered revolver that is much more powerful that probably would.

Yes, it can take out plenty of those as well. When they land, that is it. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

I don't know any sand that is as fine as regular table salt.

I mean if you can double tap it real close without missing then you can do a third shot and probably kill it. But good luck with that.

They are a lot of fun.

If that is in good working order, then you made the find of the summer.

Nice!

The sweet spot is between 2 and 3 feet. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but the standard house flies that bother you when you are grilling normally sit still and are easy to pick off like that. The full effective range is under 6 feet. You really aren't going to kill anything further out then that. Even though that still doesn't sound like a lot, trust me you will get rid of all those pesky pests and have a great time doing so.

No problem 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

Ok, so Epson salt works just fine also?

@@AroundTheHome1 yes

I will have to give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

I have used it indoors, but sparingly. You know, because it leaves salt around. I have not had bugs attracted to the salt, but I won't say that there are bugs in different parts of the world that would like it.

You know, you are not the only one that has asked this. It is something that I would never have thought of had it not been for viewers asking. There are no adverse effects of using this gun. It uses only a pinch of salt per shot, actually not even that much. I have even used it to shoot the flies that end up hanging out in my kitchen around the window. I have 3 small plants there, so if there were any problems they would show it. There have been no problems whatsoever.

It is fun. It still stings at 4 feet, but I'm guessing you are thinking more like 10 feet.

This is the 3.0. It comes in this color, black, clear, camo, and one more I think.

@@AroundTheHome1 Ah I see, good to know!

Yes!

It's not that strong. Now, the new CO2 revolver is a lot more powerful so I don't know about that one. This will chip off old paint if you are a foot away. And it will sting if you shoot someone close up. If you are less then two feet away it can cause a small patch of rug burn on a person. That's about it.

Which models do you have?

Well, they have new CO2 powered revolver 🤔

I don't understand what you mean by "Pita Safety"

I don't know of any sand that is as fine as table salt. And, any grain of sand that could be larger would just jam it. Mine is currently jammed with a small collection of salt crystals, but I believe unjamming it just requires some warm water to dissolve it and a little patience. So, I'm going to stick with no sand.

I'm not sure that I am familiar with those. Are they like horse flies?

@@AroundTheHome1 Bigger and Badder. Bite Hurts More Too. We Have Them At The Lakes Here In Michigan Every Summer.

Awesome.

@@AroundTheHome1 thank. You do you think you could do a video of you killing a wasp WIRH this gun

You, know I haven't actually tried that. Though, when you get good with this you can take them down in the air. And if I do say so it's pretty darn satisfying.

Ya buddy!

Both are really cool 😎 dude, you rock🤘🏼. And very hilarious 😂. But seasoning the meat was funny of course but made so much sense if sanitary of course. It'll cut through some ground beef and other meats effectively

It works for flies, but you are right. The CO2 driven one is much more powerful.

I think so. I haven't tried to put anything else up there to get it all jammed up.

sand?

Regular table salt.

I have tried it out inside to see. I would do it again on rare occasion. The salt isn't a bad thing since it isn't sticky nor does it attract insects. Also a shot here and there and you don't notice the salt. Anything more and you would.

It's not a good idea in your garden either. Salt on the ground will kill your plants and lawn or at least damage them.

Bah! It's just a tiny bit of salt.

Do you mean an actual lizard?

I don't think the normal one would do anything. But the new revolver would. www.amazon.com/Bug-A-Salt-Shred-Er-BUG-A-SALT-Starter-Kit/dp/B09SL491F6?crid=2DHAQE43ZMUAI&keywords=bug+a+salt+revolver&qid=1664838419&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjE3IiwicXNhIjoiMi43OCIsInFzcCI6IjEuODgifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=bug+a+salt+%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQVVYQkpKV1pNUkU4JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzYxMjQ4MUNNVldTUzdaMFQxTSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjE0MjAyT01FMUtZMVdQNklZJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=44cf5b6e8141c9cd329c969dd06e2fdc&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

@@AroundTheHome1 $124? That's kind of steep.

Yes, yes it does.

It definitely has enough power to obliterate them, that is if you can catch them.

Don't go looking for them, just start cooking outside and they will come to you. The barrel has only a roughly 3/16" opening, so no this will not work with nerf ammo.

@@AroundTheHome1 Okay...thank you very much!

You are not poisoning them with the salt. The salt is like tiny buckshot.

2 to 3 feet actually. Which is no problem with killing those flies when you are grilling.

A little extra protein never hurt.

That is a good question.

Like, are you talking about using it against wild wolves?

Dude it's literally firing table salt lmao if you're even close enough to a wolf to hit them with this you're probably already dead let alone if you fire a pinch of salt at them to piss them off

Wolfie will appreciate the fact that you seasoned yourself.

Lmaoooo what?!

I don't know. Is Epsom salt ground as fine as regular table salt? I have never seen it ground so fine. Also, this does not shoot that much salt, so I doubt that it could have any negative effects to plants. I mean other then blasting the leaves apart.

@@AroundTheHome1 modern blenders can make regular sugar into powdered sugar so grinding things is pretty simple....Im thinking of buying one of these salt guns and just trying to be prepared for my fellow garden buddies to try and bash it for using table salt.

Well, the gun is tons of fun and effective at the same time. Good luck with your buddies. Sounds like you need to try out the salt gun on some of them.

@@russell802208 actually a great idea if it works

There is also Bug-A-Salt salt especially designed for this fly swatter.

😂🤣😎

Great comment.

I salt my steaks with it.

Well, I'm not totally sure. It will definitely send them running. I'm sure that it would kill smaller ones.

No, no it does not. To my knowledge the only one that does require CO2 is the new handgun. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

@@AroundTheHome1 thanks for the fast reply and definitely going to get one of these 👍🏻

They are really great to use and a lot of fun. A must when you are out grilling / smoking.

@@AroundTheHome1 awesome 👍🏻 definitely will be getting one

I doesn't put out that much salt. It's just a "pinch" of salt at best per shot.

negligible. salt for the snow is worse cause everyone uses it , Willi nilly

Sounds awesome.

Good luck!

@@AroundTheHome1 so does that make the gun asalt rifle 😂😂

Dam, you must have A LOT OF FLIES! What, do you live in a dumpster? lol

It is so little amount of salt that it does not hurt anything other then the flies.

@@AroundTheHome1 good because the salt is way more important just look at elephants getting salt from underground caves only imagne the amount of wild life attracted to the area. A salt grass contains 100x times less minerals than a table spoon of salt. Also why there are mountain goats on the sides of dams trying to lick the salt out of concreate.

It's not stupid. There is so little salt that comes out of this that it harms nothing but the flies. And I am speaking from experience.

@@AroundTheHome1 Fair enough, I guess it would take quite a bit of salt to damage plants and I suppose it washes away with the rain eventually anyway.

@fred jimbob you are not the only person with this concern. I have tested it to prove that it does not shoot enough salt to harm anything. I even have 3 small potted plants in my kitchen window. This summer was bad about flies, and instead of trying to hit them with a fly swatter I shot them with the Bug A Salt gun. I did this to see if it was an ok idea to use indoors, and to see how it might effect plants at close range. It's not bad for using indoors. There is a little salt debris to clean up, but not bad. And there was no reaction from the plants. This thing is about as safe as safe can be.
