Tag. How difficult is it to remove the safety? I wanted do do that but was afraid that it would burst into a zillion springs and little parts.

Have the first version but the slide action to cock the sucker broke.

I was keeping it at the firehouse and the guys on shift absolutely loved the thing.

Looking at getting the latest one and I'm digging the optional pieces that yall are turning out.

Need to look on the net to see if accessories are available.

Been having so much fun knocking winged and legged insurgents from this earth, that i hadnt even contemplated accessories.

No saftey here, gotta have fast follow-up shots!

I've been grinding my own salts - himilayan is a favorite, plus it's full of healthy minerals, easy to spot for cleanup when necessary. Testing patterns and impact on paper (feel the back side). The slight inconsisencies of particle size seems like a good approach. A better grinder is on the to-get list.

Need to check the spring mod, some of these armored critters are tough (like giant wolf spiders and wasps/nests - you may very well get stung with a saftey, they *will* chase you down).

Maybe a choke is in my future, then a sighting system.

Don't think I got to even 50 shots before the damn thing broke. It's just a gimmick toy at best.

I've had my 2.0 for a while, wanted to get in on the kickstarter years ago.

My "rear iron" sight keeps falling down.
Salt clumps after a while, the gun requires cleaning because it can fail to feed. The company told me to pour hot water in the salt hopper. Fixed the issue, unfortunately my missfire shot air at a pissed off wasp.

I emailed them a few years ago asking if they can make a tacticool one.

Who the hell would return a $35 toy for a warranty issue?

Easy, takes 10 minutes. Pull all the screws from the one side and split the clamshell. You can see the safety parts in the back. Just take out the items I have pictured previously in this thread.

I think I'm the only one making accessories for these. Haven't been able to find anything else.

Let me know if you want something pictured here. I'll work you a deal.

So did all my photos go dead on photobucket?
What image hosting is everyone using these days?

I got in my new bug-a-salt today. I did the safety delete and took step by step pictures. I'll post if I can find a new image hosting site that doesn't hit bandwidth limits in 2 days.

One reason I spent the $60 here. I haven't posted pictures to any other forum in other a year anyway so I'm just worried about here.

Something you pay for will give you the best chance of not getting screwed with.

I still need to try mine out, and get some better "ammo" for it.
