So I took my P90, and I took my camcorder, and I took a bracket... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EARbVklziQ
What's cool is that the contrast between the pellets and the backround and the shakiness of the footage makes it look like you're shooting tracers.
YEP! It looks just like tracers as they slow down especially, like when shot upward toward aircraft. So finally we have non-lethal means to suppress rodent civil discord.
Work on your lead. You'll get that bastard. Oh and how in the hell has your state NOT yet made ownership of one of those illegal?
New Jersey will soon be England when it comes to gun ownership. I remember when I was stationed there one of my buds lived off post and was shooting his pellet gun in his backyard. His neighbors were freaked out and called the police. None had ever seen a gun in real life up close + personal so they didn't know a Daisy from an AK-47.
Oh, I'll never forget the new neighbors we got back when I was still living at home in Franklin Lakes. I'd spent my entire life shooting BB guns in the back yard - which was almost an acre surrounded by trees. I was probably somewhere in my 30s at the time (Mary and I shared the house with my folks). I stepped out the back door with a pellet pistol to chase a stray cat away. Five minutes later my grandfather yells out the window that the new neighbor called and said she'd call the police if I didn't put the gun away. Fuck, Dad used to shoot skeet in the back yard! Now you can't use a BB gun without some weenie getting her panties in a bunch.
I can sorta understand the neighbors position. She really doesn't know you and you pull out an air soft that at distance is easily mistaken for a gun. I've got some dumb neighbor kids about ten houses down from me and the other day as I was cutting the grass I saw the fat one pull out and aim a pistol towards a house. For a split second I thought I was going to be a witness to a shooting until I heard the popping and realized it's just an air soft. And I live in South Florida. It's not generally a good idea to be waving a air soft pistol around because you don't know what's going to be coming back at you if you do.
^I suppose, but my main emotion was resentment at the yuppie newbie moving in to the house my grandmother was born in and telling me how to behave on property my family owned for 4 generations. Dern uppity newcomers!
I wouldn't call PETA, but I did back out of the video once the rodant came into view. Shooting targets is one thing. But, watching someone shoot at or hit small animals isn't my idea of quality video watching.
yeah man...... Wounded it. Let it hobble around some more. Wounded it again. Then walked up to it and emptied the gun into the head of the thing while screaming, "FUCK YOU GEICO!!!!!"
Pfah. The damn thing barely noticed as the little plastic pellets bounced off its fat hide. I've been trying to get some slo-mo video out of this rig (it does 600fps!), but it's been so hot the last few days no critters are venturing forth into my yard.
I'd best describe the critter's response to being hit with pellets as somewhat annoyed. It wasn't harmed in any way.
It was a bloody mess. Jenee don't let Forbin and Paladin lie to you. Both are blood thirsty maniacs. Hell, Forbin is inches away from gunning people down for changing lanes without signaling. Paladin is in Cali. Cali people be crazy. Woodchucks won't enter Forbins yard because they can still see the carcass of the last one.
fuck your raccoons and your gay little rodents, every morning I have to fend off a goddamned Peahen, and I, like a REAL MAN, do so with a plastic spork
That sounds like a funny story - assuming it doesn't end with you shooting it. I had to get a racoon out of a dumpster one time. The dumpster is .. like .. up to my eyebrows anyway and I sure as hell wasn't going to climb in there. So, we just found a really big tree branch and put it in the dumpster. Barely had time to get out of the way when the racoon shot out of there like a bat out of hell.
It was hysterical. Momma raccoon and three babies got into my enclosed screen porch to get at the garbage. At 2 AM. I grabbed my .22 rifle, flung the porch door open and jammed the rifle, literally, in her face. She froze. But then I saw all the cute babies. And then she grabbed the muzzle of the rifle and started chewing on it to see if it was edible. That earned her a "too cute to kill" moment and I just shooed them all out the porch door.
