    how far will they shoot. need to shoot my 16 to 20 deer that eat everything planted. neighbor uses paintballs
    just get a low velocity red rider bb gun, its probably enough to scare a deer and they are pretty inexpensive. and dont go shooting your eye out =)

    Yes I have 2.0 and love it.  Wife hates it and hides it from me.  And yes, kids like to sneak up on each other and shoot in the leg.  Fly kill zone is 2-3ft as reported previously.  Sadly it only pissed off the few wasps I shot at.

    I disabled the safety on mine for better rapid fire action. Works great for sitting on the deck while cooking and having a beverage.

    What is it, 1/2 #10 wood screw?  Or a bolt stuck in to fill the void?  Haven't looked at mine yet.

    Mod made and since I was leery of possible damage from drilling the hole too deep and ruining some internal part I put a stop on my drill bit to keep it shallow. Turns out after drilling the hole I ran a piece of wire in to check the depth. It is quite hollow there. First I screwed in a self tapping sheet metal screw with a large head. Believe it or not that large head was a real irritant when shooting with my left hand. So I switched out to a smooth round head. Rapid pumping and rapid firing by overriding the safety makes this salt gun a lot more fun! Thanks @n8er

    Sure, but the OP @n8er posted this suggestion. Just to prove I wasn't "woofin" then here's a picture of my safety override. Granted I suppose this isn't wise to override a safety, but it's your call!

    I knew you followed @n8er for the mod just wanted to understand what kind of screw since you said the first attempt raised some concern.

    HELL NO!!! I live in Illinois! Letting even crooks know that they MIGHT encounter even as much as a salt gun might get me thrown in prison next to the REAL crooks including our sleazy Illinois governors!

    Good work @RRP

    I just used a leftover short screw that I had laying around. As you mentioned, its pretty hollow in that area.

    I don't think I did.  It ships from Wisconsin and I'm a hop, skip and half a jump to Flint Michigan.

    Gotcha, that makes sense. I was charged sales tax for some reason even though I live in FL, before it shipped I assumed they were based out of FL.

    Wife told me how stupid I was when I ordered it, then as soon as it was delivered she wanted to play with it. 

    Ordered mine from Amazon on Friday, delivered on Sunday. Now there are no flies to be seen haha.

    Short of taking it apart I'm not sure superglue would hold it, unless you meant glueing a piece of plastic to block travel when it is cocked. Really though drilling a hole and inserting a screw was a quick fix.

    @RRP do you think that hot glue would work?

    There are videos of both methods on YouTube.  Apparently both work.

    All we had in the house when I got mine was reduced sodium salt.  It was too powdery and lacked the larger granules of regular salt to make the "buckshot" lethal.  I picked up some regular salt this morning and plan on going hunting later.
