Considering our Olympic performance I don't even know that that's something to be proud of tbh.
Just because it's our national sport doesn't mean we have to be good at it :p
There have been 341 mouse shootings in the US this year alone.
The only thing stopping a bad mouse with a gun is a good mouse with a gun.
If you give a mouse a pistol, he's going to ask for ammo.
The mice can't keep getting away with it!
Who is reporting these?
Like, "Yes, I shot three mice with a gun this morning. I just thought the Bureau of Tracking Firearm-Related Rodent Kills should know."
This is some Tom and Jerry shit lmao
"One little gadget on the floor of your kid's playroom. Now when you hear a gunshot in the middle of the night you can rest easy, knowing that one way or the other, there's one less pest for you to deal with in the morning."
I see your mouse pop-gun and raise you a mouse cannon.
Could you imagine purchasing half a dozen guns exclusively to litter them across the ground in the hopes that mice might happen upon them? If an intrepid burglar can plant mice in a neighborhood to coax homeowners into leaving thousands of dollars on their floor, something might have gone awry.
This is genius!
Not only will it eliminate the rat, it will also scare other rats away from the location and alert the owner that the trap has done it job and needs to be rearmed.
If the ricochet doesnt kill him ofc.
.. cleaned and repaired.
OK, real talk. You wouldn't pack a bullet in there. That's a cap and ball revolver, black powder. The wad at that range would at the very least stun the fuck out of a rodent.
Imagine hearing a gunshot in the middle of the night and you start panicking when you remember you own this stupid contraption so you go back to sleep and then you get murdered because it was actually a killer and you didn't think of it because you own this stupid contraption.
Also known as "American roulette", it's a version you can play solitaire on your way to the toilet at night
If that patent was filed today, it'd be an AR-15.
