Greg H. Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 http://www.gizmag.co...-control/23443/ So if I toss salt on a person is that now assault with intent to kill? On a serious note, how does table salt work exactly? Does it dehydrate them by clinging to their exoskeletons?
Joatmon Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 This looks cheaper to buy and cheaper to run:- http://www.gadgetsuk.com/fly-gun-bug-killer.html

swansont Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Wait, what? "No chemicals"? It uses sodium frikkin' chloride! So if I toss salt on a person is that now assault with intent to kill? On a serious note, how does table salt work exactly? Does it dehydrate them by clinging to their exoskeletons? I'm guessing it's like a tiny shotgun and it's kinetic damage. The blast of air can't be helpful, either.

Phi for All Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I was hoping it could also be used against demons and ghosts, but ideal range is only 2 feet. That's unacceptable against the supernatural. I'm not sure whether the fly or the salt is going to be worse for my jello. And for luck, wouldn't you have to shoot over your shoulder for every fly you kill? For those reasons, and an impending ban on a-salt rifles, I won't be investing. 1
swansont Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I showed to a couple of the guys at work, and we did a quick calculation. If a fly is around 1 cm long, and a grain of salt is 100 microns, that's like a human being hit by a bunch of ~20 mm slugs (or upwards of 75 caliber). The speed doesn't scale up, but I'm thinking that it's like a slingshot kind of speed. One would frikkin' hurt and possibly be fatal if it hit in the right spot. A dozen or two? Good night, nurse. I may have to buy one, just so I can film the shot in slo-mo and calculate the muzzle velocity. For the science! For those reasons, and an impending ban on a-salt rifles, I won't be investing. On the contrary, if there is a ban on asalt rifles, then saltless rifles will not be allowed, and this will be legal.
Phi for All Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I may have to buy one, just so I can film the shot in slo-mo and calculate the muzzle velocity. For the science! Yeah, like you'd ever just leave it at that. Give it a few days and you'd have it hooked up to a backpack compressor dishing up insect death at 150psi. You'd be a Drosophila melanogangster! On the contrary, if there is a ban on asalt rifles, then saltless rifles will not be allowed, and this will be legal. EXTREME MEASURES CAUSE SALTY PHYSICIST IN A PINCH TO REMOVE DASH! 1
CharonY Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I may have to buy one, just so I can film the shot in slo-mo and calculate the muzzle velocity. For the science! Ohhhh please do. On the contrary, if there is a ban on asalt rifles, then saltless rifles will not be allowed, and this will be legal. Ouch, that hurt.
Greg H. Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah, like you'd ever just leave it at that. Give it a few days and you'd have it hooked up to a backpack compressor dishing up insect death at 150psi. You say that like it's a bad thing.
Moontanman Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 You say that like it's a bad thing. ya might be a redneck if....
Joatmon Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't recommend it for bed bugs - especially if you have grazed knees. Edited July 25, 2012 by Joatmon
Phi for All Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 You say that like it's a bad thing. Well, my jello would be GONE.
Greg H. Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Well, my jello would be GONE. I recommend stronger Jello. Or less bugs. One or the other. ya might be a redneck if.... Your gun rack has a gun rack. 1
Bill Angel Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I have had good success ridding my apartment of flying insects utilizing good old fashioned flypaper. To document my success I made a music video titled At least in my case, my idea of an entertaining form of mass killing involves flying insects and not human beings.
