I have one of these a shootin buddy sent me years ago. It is FUN.

Yes.....it is SICK fun. But GOOD sick fun.

Never needs cleaning. Windows do though.

If you can learn to aim just off center, you can WOUND the game and do what you want with it and it usually does not entail cleaning the window.

However a perfect bullseye will definitely require Windex.

Had one years ago and have been looking for one ever since. My shot/kill ratio with it was much higher than my ratio with the traditional implement.

The fun factor is higher, too.

In fact, we need a range report. Trigger pull, lethality, "muzzle" velocity, handling characteristics, etc.

I've had opportunity to operate one of these once & can attest to the high fun factor! :D

[Topgun]

No stories about mishaps while "stand shooting" over "bait."



:D :D

[Standing Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah! A .44 magnum works just as well, although somewhat noisier, I'll admit.

[Stevie-Ray]

I have a GAT pistol that shoots .177 cal pellets, darts, corks, and a fly swatter. Had it for many years. Used it on flies several times. Used the corks on stray animals. They think twice about coming back afterward, though it doesn't injure them.

Nothing quite matches the Saddam Hussein factor like a can of Raid for flying insects. Had a minor infestation and theye must have been 50 flies clustered around this one window. A 2 second shot of that fog and within 15 seconds they had all fallen off the window and were buzzing around on the countertop. Within 2 minutes the buzzing and horrible cries of war had stopped. Dust buster made short work of the casualties. I swear, if you can't get your hands on VX nerve gas, this stuff is just as good.

Have you seen the battery-operated tennis racket-looking thingy that you swat flies with? The racket "strings" are 'electrified', so it is a bug zapper and swatter in one. Looks like big fun!

[Topgun]

Clubsoda 22.....You don't happen to live in Amityville, do ya?


:uhoh:

[George Hill]

That fly shooter is cheating.
You gotta use the little red suction-cup darts.

[Topgun]

YAH! Da SUCTION cup ones. Screw skeet! BULLSEYE.

And don't forget how much bettah da suction ones is when you licks em between shots. Remember that?

I bet I put more spit rings on glass at our house than my mother knew what to do with.

But.......lickin a............flyshooter................WHY NOT?

We is real MEN!

:D

[Jim March]

Remember the NRA rule:

"Eat what you kill!"

:uhoh:

:cool:

:barf:

:neener:

[JoeWang]

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you call a wounded fly whose wings are removed?

A WALK!!

Hahaha, waka waka, but seriously folks, I just gotta tell ya...

[Brass]

We better get one before they want a NICS check on one of this too!! :cuss:

[ikd2]

Eating your kills:barf: That little fly swatter gizmo is kinda sissy. I wouldn't use it for yellow jackets or any serious dangerous game:D I use the Jr flame thrower for that (can of hair spray & propane torch) I Toast them at the same time as killing so they are already for the plate.

[powderific]

I can attest to the effectiveness of the yellow electric fly swatters. We have a bunch of them where I work, and they are very entertaining. I had not believed that they would work, but lo and behold, you turn the thing on, and when you hit a fly in mid air there is a soft but sharp popping noise and a little blue flash, then the fly lands on the floor and buzzes for a minute before death. Sometimes you can have little fly electric chair executions... lotsa little blue sparks and a bit of smoke even :D :D

[pytron]

Those yellow electric racket things are great. I love the smell of a roasted fly. Of course, it is a close-combat weapon. Something like this shootable fly-swatter should be in everyone's armory. I just might have to get one now.

I've used these things extensively--mostly overseas...:scrutiny:

Medium range at best--no more than 3 feet I'd say.

Still, the limited range forces you to work on your stalk, otherwise you're going home with an empty bag... :neener:
