Have you ever wondered if there was a gun to shoot flies. I one made one like a miniature shotgun that used plastic caps and sand. Not the sort of thing for around the house.

Below is the original South African invention that took off with a bang, many years ago and has now died. The instructions are on the first two pics. After that comes the unloaded and loaded positions of the original gun. It made quite a lot of noise when a fly was hit against a window or cupboard. Don`t shoot one on a painted wall unless joy want a lot of work cleaning it. It was fun shooting them as they pass by, but you must know the length of the string or it ends up hitting you on the rebound. Try to hit the fly before you have sent all the string towards it.
