I have a similar item in my backlog, a drone mounted salt gun to terminate slugs in the garden. Engaging them in first person or just sitting back and let the skynet do its thing. Will probably never have the time to work on it, but if something like this is available to buy I would be interested.

#34With age I came to conclusion that anything making killing of any kind even remotely fun is utterly wrong. It might be necessary with dangerous insects, but it should not be fun or recreational.

#36I have one of these and it works fantastically. Highly recommended.

Advice on what kind of ammunition to use during the endless war on bugs that we humans have perpetrated for our own comfort[1] is without a doubt invaluable information. [0] This is not snark. [1] Snark aside, I for real do not want roaches etc. in my house, and appreciate non-poisonous methods of dealing... while at the same time struggling with the fact that the in…

#40Hate to be a spoilsport but I wonder what their safety record is like. The shots where the camera was pointed up the barrel made me cringe. "Treat like a loaded weapon at all times" indeed! Of all things to get in your eye high-velocity salt seems like it would be pretty bad.
