that's a great question... :)J Miller wrote:Sooooo, where's the pics of the trophy bug with you posing with your gun?

I'd carefully sand down the heads of the strike anywhere matches until it snugly fit all the way down the barrel, and they would fly pretty accurate for about 50 feet or so...Rusty wrote:Y'all are gonna have to excuse Jr.
When I got up to go to work he was watching "CARS" and laughing at "MATER"
AKA Larry the Cable guy.
I never did manufacture anything like exploding pellets, but did find out that a strike anywhere match placed down the bore of an El gamo .177 pellet rifle with the head just sticking out of the bore would make quite a CRACK when it hit a concrete block wall. This also required some fancy footwork to extinguish the remains before it aroused too much attention.
And to think we lived thru it all.
Back in the day I used to shoot roaches with my Crosman model 1377 air pistol and just air ten pumps, used to blow them to bits. A tad messy but got the job done. The seals wore out on that gun, and it's in storage somewhere. Aftermarket parts availability for the model 1377 is pretty amazing now. May have to go dig it up.El Chivo wrote:don't try this with a springer, but I was told the way to kill insects was to dry-fire with a pumped up Benjamin Sheridan. The air blows them apart without using a projectile.
Mr. Kukaracha was resting in pieces after I was through with him, not a pretty picture.J Miller wrote:Sooooo, where's the pics of the trophy bug with you posing with your gun?

Better watch out for you kitty cat.

My wife just a little while ago said she saw 3 roaches casually walk in front of her as she was looking in the pot cabinet. I took my dive light and my 1911 under there to take a look and was able to drop 2 of 3 but #3 I saw escaping into a rust hole in the vent pipe of the kitchen drain. This pipe is so far in the corner of the cabinet that I don't think it's ever been checked. It's 51 years old and when I shine the light I could see all these antennae sticking out of the hole waiting to come out. These disgusting creatures had come up from the sewer lines and were sneaking in through that hole. I quickly ducktaped that rust hole, and I will be spending my Monday replacing that rusty pipe with new ABS pipe.

May not work for dog sized insects but then again it might. I'd hate to see someone get popped in the eye with a .177 pellet.
I have been thinking about getting an air pistol to carry while hunting; sometimes I see a rabbit on the way back but don't want to shoot it with a deer round. Same with snakes; I would love to bring back a snake and have a nice belt.
Aloha Jim, great to hear from you!JimT wrote:
We have big roaches here in Mozambique. Lots of them. Sometimes you think it's a mouse running across the floor but it's just a durn big ole roach. Twyla has killed some with her machete.
Aloha Jim, Amen, good to "connect" again. Always regretted missing you by half a day in Hondo Texas back in early 2008, I was really looking forward to that. Our mutual friend and old forum member AK Church has been filling me in on your Africa adventures. Stay safe, and again please extend my aloha to your lovely better half Twyla. Always admired her scrimshaw work.JimT wrote:Thank you Ji ... for the well-wishes... NOT the roach photo. Geez. I think a 410 or a 28 ga. shotgun would be just about right. Not sure I would quick enough with the spear.![]()
Blessings to you my friend.. good to "connect" with you after all this time.
If you get one please let me know what you think of it. Looks pretty awesome on YouTube reviews. 6mm @ 575 FPS definitely takes it out of the toy category. I hear you can get various weights of 6mm balls which may make for a good urban mousie popper.Ysabel Kid wrote:Y2K just showed me that leveraction a few days ago.

Hit quite a few, but upstairs neighbor had gotten tired of his Friday/payday roach safaris and finally called 911.
As a kid I roamed everywhere around our house and nearby woods with my Daisy pump (the scissor action kind-I forget the model) that had the flip up peep sight. I hate to think of the number of birds I killed with that BB gun. I got bored with that and started shooting bumble bees. Now that was a challenge, but I got pretty good at it.Daisyman wrote:I've been giggling through this whole thread. Like you said, you just can't make this stuff up!! I used to shoot grasshoppers off the fence with my Daisy 107. It was always a bonus to get a pair mating! Feel kind of guilty about it now.
Now THAT I gotta try...bmtshooter wrote:Many years ago when I lived in Louisiana my brothers and I would drop a "strike anywhere" kitchen match down the barrel of my old .177 Benjamin pump. The match would explode on impact with a hard surface out to about 10 feet.

I once worked with some Pacific Islanders who ate dog on occasion.
