BUG-A-SALT Gold Digger Fiber Optic 3.0

Awesome product. It is well made and works well. Compared to the original product, this is definitely an upgrade that is worth the cost. The fiber optic sights are bright and easy to see, unlike the sights on the original. It is powerful enough to knock a wasp down around two to two and a half feet away. The gold and black color scheme is nice, as well. It is a fun toy that does a good job. We use it around the house instead of Wasp Spray to keep pets safe from the spray. If you have pets and wasps, it is the perfect tool for the job.

Okay this thing is cool. It works as people say it does, Put some table salt in the top , cock the gun and fire away!. It works up to about 30 feet, and if you're skilled enough, yes you can blast bugs out of mid air. It absolutely takes out flys, but heartier skinned bugs may not die (just be blasted away or stunned). PRO TIP, If you are having a hard time cocking the gun, use one hand to pull the cocker back while the other hand (usually holding the handle and trigger) pushes forward at the same time, makes it a bit easier. Stiff trigger for whatever reason. You WILL probably get a tired finger or pumping arm if you kill more than about 6 or 7 flies in a few minutes. Not a HUGE deal, but just an FYI.

I bought this salt gun having become fed up trying to swat multiple flies a day in the house. I couldn't be happier with the results! While I do actually use the sights to guarantee accuracy, you are not going to be killing flies across the room with it! It's ideal range seems to be about 2-3 feet from the target. Closer than that and you might blow the fly open and further away you're unlikely to land a fatal shot. But in that kill zone, the results are amazing! It consistently delivers a fatal dose of sodium to these cursed insects often perched on difficult to swat targets like the top of a bottle, the flowers on the table, or behind the mini blinds buzzing around the window. Dead, dead and dead! I just killed 3 back to back in 5 minutes before writing this review and I've been using it for weeks. Two were buzzing around the inside of a living room window behind the mini blinds and the last one was picked off as he sat perched on top of a Listerine bottle in the restroom. See for yourself, but money well spent and a great product!

This is the best money I have spent as an adult human. We leave our door open for our pets in nice weather, but that brings all of the flies in the tristate area into our home. It’s gross and traps are gross. This gun, however, is super fun. It uses normal table salt and is very easy to use, there’s even a scope. I’m giggling and sniping flies as a new pastime. My only problem is that it’s too effective and I’m bored now that I’ve killed them all.

Overall I would say nice item. If the range was longer I would probably put 5 stars. The fact it can use cheap iodized salt is nice, it looks to be made for it because pump action looks like it can only pull in fairly small grains. It can hold a pretty good amount of salt, which is good. I read that you can test how it fires on tinfoil. I learned by just putting my hand out about 3 feet and firing into my hand, so that will sting a bit but you can get a good sense of how the salt shoots or sprays out like a shotgun. So overall after using a few days I'll say this: Long range might be disappointing, so the sights probably don't matter a whole lot. Shotgun does a decent salt spray with decent power. Close range is more effective and you almost don't even have to aim. This gun is way more fun than a fly-swatter, it's enjoyable to use and I actually am disappointed when there aren't more bugs to shoot. Not every fly you hit will die even at close range, the shot seems to have variable power, so you might have to shoot a fly 5 times, or you might kill it with a fast piece of salt even at range. So I think the main benefit is it's still better and way more fun than a fly swatter, and if you shoot a fly enough times it will die.

This was an instant hit! Great gift and actually works.

This is a fun way to kill flying insects. It’s well built and an example of you get what you pay for.

At 3FT, it's stuns the fly, doesn't kill but gives plenty of time for a finishing blow. I test shot myself in the foot about 10 inches away and it stings! My shoulder kind of hurts, so when I pump the action, it creates discomfort since you need a good pull. The sights are pretty accurate around 3FT. Takes normal granular table salt, and when you shoot it looks like 10-15 individuals salts that come out, so you have plenty to shoot for each refill. The build is pretty nice and sturdy for a plastic gun. It's awesome, get one! Build quality: Strudy Accuracy: The sights are accurate Speed: Comes out very fast, flies will not have enough time to react if you do not miss.

Works great

Etwas schwergängig aber effektiv !

Absolutamente excelente. Funciona muy bien. Divertido! Lo recomiendo 100%

Didn't know how much an item could make such a big impact. Got 'em good.

Fácil y divertido de usar. Se sienten de calidad los materiales. Un poco dura la corredera para cargar cada disparo, así es que sólo lo recomendaría para adultos relativamente fuertes.
