Close, maybe order some 22 shot caps and use a 22cal pellet rifle.

Once again for the 87th time, my dad used to take a 12ga shotgun shell decrimp it, empty it out, stick the wad back in and fill it with millet.
Boom. Gone. |

I believe a #0 pill capsule shell fits .22 exactly. Make salt shotshells.

I've always wanted to find a h&r single shot in 357, bore the rifling out and make little shotshells from 357 brass. Kind of like a center-fire 9mm flobert garden gun.
Probably get your desired range with course salt or bird seed. |

I made a thing a long time ago that connected a bicycle hand pump to a small pipe fitting "air tank" with a Schrader valve on one side and a ball valve on the other. A 6" pipe "nipple" on the other end of the ball valve acted as a barrel. I would make a wad and load those super powered firework snaps (roughly firecracker sized) and get some good distance out of them.
Something like this, with a sort of "cut shell" approach, or like a Glazer safety slug, only with tissue paper and ice melt salt could be worth looking into. You only get one shot though. |

Quoted: not the Bug-A-Salt already on the market a Salt Rifle with a range of about 10 feet for wasps ready to buy now My Bug-A-Salt will stun/drop a wasp so I can step on it. No need for another gun (blasphemer!). |

If any one cares,I took apart my bug-a-salt and replaced the 2 power springs with stiffer ones which throws the salt a lot harder and farther. I don't remember the spring size, but I just measured it with a calipers and got one with thicker coils off amazon. It was about 50% too long so I did have to cut it down a bit. But it made the bug-a-salt infinitely much more lethal. In its factory config it barely has enough power to stun a fly. Mine will knock wings and legs and heads off of flies now as well as kill them.
I also removed the very gay auto-resetting safety. No one needs a safety on a damn spring powered salt shooter. |
