Shooting rubber bands after cats

[threaded]

One of my neighbours likes nothing better than to sit in the garden with a bag of rubber bands and when one of the neighbourhood cats wanders in, he uses them for target practice.

Then I found this rubber band machine gun.

I know some of you lot also like to pull the legs of spiders too.

$499 seems quite alot.

If Mrs BP gets hold of your neighbour he will be in big trouble......

Whatever happened to spud guns, they were great fun?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spud_Gun_Legality

The sale of spud guns in the state of Georgia, Florida and Wisconsin can be punished with felony charge resulting in a $20,000 fine and up to 15 years in prison.

Pistols, rifles, or shotguns: no problem. Spud guns: no way!

Edit: TBH I think they are referring to internal combustion guns firing whole spuds!

Amazon have a real spud gun on sale.

I find having a primed supersoaker to hand always useful for dealing with kitty crapping on the lawn.

Well, I don't just want to be able to chase them while I'm outside, I want them to stop it completely.

Currently I come out to chase them, and lob a pebble from the gravel. Now they have that figured, and don't shift until they see me reach for the pebble; just being outside and yelling/hissing is no longer enough. I'd guess the water gun might be the same.

Years ago visiting Texas I bought a rubber band handgun. Great fun !
Unfortunately I left it in the hotel room, doh !

Very tempted to order one, only $12.95...

Other notes
* Flaming, explosive, black powder, or living projectiles can often make a legal spud gun illegal in many jurisdictions.

"living projectiles"? WTF?


thinks... what about the kids on the towpath that use their catapults to fire maggots at passing narrowboats?
