Using the safety nozzle on a dust gun as a venturi to suck up bird shot and blow it out like a machine gun is nice - but it does make a mess that tends to piss off people. :evil:

How? Steal a "dip tube" from a bottle of Windex (it usually fits snug in the side holes of the nozzle). Cover the other nozzle with your thumb and plunge the open end of the tube into your cup of shot. You'll need good pressure on the hose - 200 psi or better works real well. Quincy QR25's running in 250-500 intermittent mode are incredible. (these are used to operate BIG impact guns to work on heavy machinery) Of course if you don't have access you can grab a inert gas bottle from a welding shop and crank the regulator to the same range. I've also found that diatomaceous earth (DE) powder used in polishing filters makes a nice abrasive that can be used for all sorts of things. Think of it as a ghetto sand blaster. :D

sometimes i use my hand. i try to catch it in midflight without crushing it. i get it most of the time. usually i let it live, but when i'm pissed off i throw it on the wall real hard and instakill it. this is with only regular sized flies. the rare times when the monster flying fortess types come in i go for the nerve gas.
