    As an avid fly assassin I can 100% recommend the Bug-a-Salt 3.0 over the Bug-a-Salt 2.0. The lethal range is much better and the safety mechanism is MUCH better. It allows for rapid firing instead of resetting safety on every shot. We have a turkey farm fairly close by and have frequent invasions from aerial terrorists.
    Since upgrading to the 3.0, my status has been transformed from average sniper to a true one man assault division capable of genocide. After every fly hunt I feel compelled to pray and ask forgiveness for the incredible loss of life that I and the engineers of the 3.0 are responsible for. The glee I feel watching flies fall to the ground from mid-air flak attack should feel wrong somehow but I only feel giddy.
    I sincerely hope my humanity and respect for life isn’t permanently destroyed by warfare with this tough and relentless enemy. I do not feel the negative effects of PTSD, thankfully. I’ll update you if changes to my sanity occurs.

    Don't question the BUG-A-SALT. It takes out full-size New York cockroaches at close range. Not for the squeamish. Also takes out mosquitos, but this is where your shooting skills will be tested. Basically if it flies (short of bald eagles) bug-a-salt takes it down.

    I love this thing. Everyone in my family has them. They bring them when we go camping so I've known about them for a long time. Resisted the $50 price tag for a long time. This last summer I had sooo many flies in my house they were pissing me off and the fly swatter wasn't taking care of them quick enough. It's also messy and you don't know where the smashed flies will land. With the Bug Assault I can confidently shoot a fly in my kitchen, while I'm cooking, knowing what way the fly will go based on shooting it, rather than smashing it into pieces that go everywhere. It's a lot more fun than a fly swatter too. Believe me, you want this!

    Oh it works! Got one of these as a gag gift for Christmas along with the laser sight. First time using it was on a spider on the kitchen ceiling and it was one shot one kill. The spider was there, and then he wasn't. Found it all curled up and dead in the kitchen sink. I keep this gun close all the time now. It's going to be very hard leaving a few flies alive this summer for the cats because they love hunting them too.

    Yes, the new ones work. We live in a rural area and are surrounded by cow and horse farms, so flies are always an issue. We've tried sprays, foggers, baits, UV lights+zappers, fly paper, and maybe get a few flies. The kids just love grabbing the Bug-A-Salt and just clearing the house in minutes of every fly. Just keep the salt dry, reload it completely when it is humid, and it will last. Our 3.0 has been used hundreds of times, still works like a charm.
