Inspired by the linked idea.
Big game hunting is increasingly frowned upon these days, especially indoors.
MaxCo. is therefore proud to fill a much-needed gap in the recreational killing market with the introduction of the Fly Gun. The satisfyingly heavy Fly Gun accepts a magazine of 50-100
fly darts, each of which is simply a tiny pointy metal pin with a very small stabilizing tail made of engineering-grade lint.
The spring-powered fly gun is lethal to insects up to 15 feet away, but accuracy over more than a couple of metres is limited - an excellent excuse to practice your stalking skills.
Not suitable for children, unless you can hit their jugular.

Some people think baiting is unsportsmanlike. And in some states it is illegal. |

But when spearfishing, I had little compunction about setting out a can of tuna on a spear-friendly surface and waiting to see who showed up. Small fish first, and then a big one to bully the small ones away .... worse luck for him. |

Can I get this with a scope on it? This could open up a whole new set of Boone and Crockett classes, but we're all going to have to get better about species identification. |

Certainly. Might we also recommend a laser sight as part of the upgrade package? |
|
|
I feel like this can be satisfied with a Nerf gun, although I have no evidence that a nerf dart ever proved fatal against a fly. |
|
|
Laser sight? No thanks, it's been done before and the fish are afraid of it. |
|
|
Oh, you meant for insects. Well, if you need beta testers .... |
|
|
A dartboard, coated with something very attractive to
flies, would be a nice accessory to this |
