Another "What Gun for..." thread

I'm thinking a skeet load of #8 or #9 shot in my 870 should powder that critter. Funny thing is I'd never want to find out...

Any 20ga Shotgun ought'a work. Preferably one with at least 7 shots and a cartridge holder on the butt stock with another 15 or so at the ready for when they gang up on ya!

I'm thinking that a simple butt-stroke from an M16 or M4 would dispatch one pretty quickly. Either that, or an M9 with the "Tactical Hammer Grip".

Save the ammo for the two-legged critters.

I'm callin John Goodman.

One swift stomp with one of my LPCs should do the trick.

A western-style side-by-side shotgun. Two simultaneous rounds of 12ga birdshot would probably be sufficient to stop that...thing.

12 guage worked pretty well in "8-Legged Freaks."

But the gun rags think the .17 HMR and .204 Ruger are the best

Nuke em from orbit...




















it's the only way to be sure.


I HATE spiders!!!!

From that page, follow the link over to snopes where you find this little factoid:

Camel spiders can traverse desert sand at speeds up to 25 MPH, making screaming noises as they run.

To which my reply is "No. The screaming noises are coming from ME!"

I hate spiders!

What gun?

THis:



Barring that, take a more active role with a squad of these:

From Aliens, right? Great quote. Great movie.

Seriously, though, I'd like a Smith Wesson .38 Combat Masterpiece loaded with shot shells. The bore would be smooth, so as to pattern properly for more distant shots. This is all you need for these buggers. Target wadcutters for even more distant shots. A scoped .22lr rifle for further shots. I hate spiders too.

AquaNet hairspray and a good ole zippo....


I, too, friggin hate spiders...

I probably won't be able to sleep after this thread...

Well, we get tarantulas here in late summer. Like the lawn for some reason. They crunch up real nice. Wouldn't want to sleep outside with them

When I was in the desert...

I liked these things!

They ate the scorpians, rats, and other nasties that pose more of a hazard.

They are fast, and they are big. But I view them like the insect eating bats. If they eat mosquitos, good for them!

I'm still thinkin Super Soaker filled with diesel and a propane torch duct taped underneath.

10/22 with a brick of ammo would be fun too.

True story from the Johnson City TN 'Press-Chronicle' from the mid-70's:
A man was admitted to Mtn.Home V.A. with a gunshot wound to the foot.
The man told police he was in the bathroom,a spider got on his foot & he shot at it with a 16 gauge shotgun.
I wanna know (1) did he get the spider?,(2) why did he have a shotgun in the can (or do I REALLY want to know)?

Benelli M1S90

Seeing as they aren't dangerous to humans, I'd play lawn darts with them (KaBar, of course).
First to hit one designates another soldier to drink

And don't tell me they don't have liquor in Iraq. My Marine buddy got sh!**y on cheap scotch and patrolled Bhagdad in the US's first week there.

A squirt gun!
A Super Soaker with a LARGE reservoir of liquid organophosphate insecticide.

Might seem really gross but,,,,

anybody ever try eating one?

Ah - never mind - snopes says they aren't as big as a King Crab

Another thread answered with the old standby:

Plasma phase rifle in the 40 watt range.

Flame thrower!
