Noisy has gone fully redneck!

[Ladynoisy]

Noisy has decided to revoke the residency of the rat living in the kitchen ceiling.......issuing eviction orders by way of the air rifle!
It will only make a little hole...easy to fix he says!
Apparently the slug doesn't penetrate horse hair plaster but does the new modern plaster....yep there's more that one hole!

[Die Judicii]

Go for it Noisy,

If the slug gun aint doin the job, try the .410

Plaster is easy fixed.

[joker]

Good excuse to renovate

[bigfellascott]

good on ya Noisy, I've been battling mice for the last mth or so now, bloody things just keep coming, apparently they love Peanut Butter! a bit of that on a trap seems to be working very well (other than one tiny little bugger that got 4 free feeds before the bloom was lowered on it! I seem to be getting one just about every night at the moment

[wrenchman]

lol shot guns work better

[bigfellascott]

At home here we use a mix of equal parts bi-carb soda, corn flour & icing sugar.
Mix together and leave it where mice etc. Like to go.
apparently the little fuvkers can't burp or fart, the flour and sugar get them to eat the bi-carb which fizzs up in there guts and thier guts pop internally. They die but your dog or cat or kids won't if the find them as its harmless to anything bigger.
works a treat

I haven't heard of that one mate, sounds interesting - thanks for sharing that one.

It's not "redneck", it's "lateral thinking" and "utilising existing resources"!

That sounds similar to the special powder they use against termites.
As termites grow, they moult and in effect, their outer "skin" pops open and they walk out of it.
Then the whole process starts again till next time.

The powder (which is harmless to anything else) prevents their skin from popping, so the lil buggers end up imploding.

Rat shot perhaps?

I got a mouse spotlighting in my kitchen with a Dolphin torch and air rifle back in the 1980's

If he can get a direct shot there will be no need to fix any holes.

Gotta ask this question....did he muzzle load the air rifle?

Oddly enough I do actually possess firearms technology from as recent as last century! I don't go two century "Hipster" all the time!

Or just load the 410 up with some Hornady Critical Defense. This is a home defines issue is it not?

[sarki]

[Rocker]

Only in 'Merica

[David Brown]

…………and in Brisbane.

Ya wanna see some ballistic fun all relative to the urban environment. Several episodes and there is some good viewing…….just coz ya read it on the internet……..

My mate Tom Gresham does some Myth Busting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z_GQfsNB3M

And for the lazy folk who just want to see the 410 shotty go direct to this one at the 2min mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x0cr3Nb6pA

[Noisydad]

The solid slug/SG loaded shotty shells aren't new at all. Such loads were known in muzzle loading days as "Buck and Ball" - as in buckshot and round ball. It was typically loaded into paper cartridges for the likes of .577 and bigger smoke poles.

[David Brown]

They are old………………but effective!

[sarki]

And they pattern ok?

I see there is another one with buckshot on the bottom and a stack of discs at the top of the shell.

Sounds like it would be a dogs breakfast coming out of the muzzle.
