I had the original Bug-a-salt, but it wasn't powerful enough for what I wanted. Do you think this one will kill a large wasp?

yes, I believe that if you hit it square and are within range. But I would test one out if you get it and determine what that range is. the energy tends to dissipate with the light salt rapidly. So too far out and probably just make them mad as with any other wasp killers.

Once you insert a CO2 canister can you leave it in or does it leak out slowly? I only ask becuz I've had CO2 guns in the past that once you put in the canister you have to use it up because it would be no good to go a few days later if you went to use it...

Just noting how the lower frame had the Magnum look, while the upper and that Civil war era look. I have never had a revolver that had a safety on it, so I mentioned it. The adjustable sights I also mention as a note as it is a salt gun, used at very short ranges. I should have edited a ton of stuff out, but as a newbie, I was afraid to cut out too much detail, as a result I left too much in. 😊

[@fatfury592]

Would u recommend getting it it have the 3.0 rn

[@justanotheravgjoe1314]

The 3.0 is great, I use it for my indoor bug shooter, the Shredder is too strong to be shooting at flies on screens or finished surfaces. Outdoors, if you are only shooting flies or black widows you should be fine with the 3.0. If you have any of the more difficult critters like the yellow jackets, roaches etc. (Yellow Jackets are a bit sketchy with the 3.0, if you nail the wings you can take them out of the air and finish with a boot, but if you don't they get kind of angry.) Then the shredder is a definitely one to consider. It is also just a lot of fun to shoot, think a salt pellet gun.

The Cartridge seem to be the big issue with the shred-er, mainly the cost of them and quite honestly reloading is a pain.
