      Unless you live in Australia's territory in Antarctica, you need one!

      We got one in the last deal a few months back, great for flying insects inside and occasional bin buzzer fly outside. Leave the corpse on the bin lid, "pour encourager les autres".

          had the sniper rifle one that i modified with some powerful spring and that stuff shoots the regular ammo through paper with ease at a few meters and keeps accuracy across the room. fun times.

          Then I got shot in the eye from one of the unmodded ones in close range and was blinded for a month. now it gives me nightmares.

        Nerf guns in Aust were nerfed. It's been a while so I may have the colours backwards but if you look closely, the ones we get here have a grey trigger instead of orange. That signifies the lower power version that's required for them to be sold here.

        Of course they did, I'm sending it to someone in QLD that will transport it - but honestly, AU Post would do it no issues what so ever. I don't even want one, I just want it because it's a toy gun and they say I can't have it.

      The father was allowed to keep his guns even though the son was known to ASIO since at least 2019. It doesn't much thinking power to see how that was a bad idea. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-15/bondi-beach-attack-gu…

      Was the son deliberately radicalised? Australian feds have been caught out doing just that before and had no shame or remorse when they were found out.

        Actually the firearms license was applied for in 2020 and granted in 2023, after the whole asio thing. Also 3 years is an suspiciously long time for a firearm licence turnaround.

        • tenpercent on 03/01/2026 - 10:39
          +3

          Also 3 years is an suspiciously long time for a firearm licence turnaround.

          The "authorities" granting the licence should have known there was someone in the same house who was on an ASIO watch list, ostensibly for connections to ISIS.

          It should have been an instant rejection.

          Instead, it looks like they might have taken 3 years to confirm whether they could radicalise the Dad too.

          But it's okay, because now NSW has laws that will stop law abiding gun owners (who don't have any terrorists in their housesholds) from owning more than a few guns at a time… and had those laws been in effect years ago that obviously would have stopped that pair from shooting up Bondi… not.

        Got one for Xmas.

        I think the issue is the sights being out a bit. Once you compensate it's great. In my case I need to aim higher otherwise I miss most of the time.

        From 30 cm away it covers an area the size of a 50-20c coin like a shotgun with birdshot. Anything in that zone gets stunned/ blown out of the air but will fly off again.
        Within a 10c coin gets injured (e.g. missing wing).
        Within a 5c coin gets literally blown to pieces.

        You can see the above when shooting a piece of cardboard. With a zone of damage greatest in the center.

    • Switchblade88 on 02/01/2026 - 17:17

      Same - I paid about $50 and it looked to be a clone of the 2.0, and not the 3.0 (the safety being a tiny lever instead of a button).

      They're no good for moving targets but otherwise they are excellent devices! Adding a reflex sight also helps ;)

      • abadacus on 03/01/2026 - 16:16

        Which reflex sight and mount did you use?

        • Switchblade88 on 03/01/2026 - 16:23

          This mount and this pump handle, along with an AliExpress 'ETEE' branded red/green dot sight that is apparently no longer available.

          I did eventually make a smaller/better mount that fitted better since the knockoff gun had slightly different spacings and I wanted it lower profile.

    Cost of living crisis? What cost of living crisis?

    • axyh on 02/01/2026 - 17:41
      +16

      The cost of living crisis has always been selective, because we have a two speed economy.

      If you're in a major city, on median wage, trying to afford rent or a mortgage, then the crisis is real. However, there are plenty of other people who are living comfortably, mortgage-free, with plenty of disposable income.

      That's why the current policy levers don't really work. Increasing interest rates just hurts the section of the population that are already hurting, while the other section of the population keeps spending freely.

      So, if you've got plenty of disposable income and want to buy a gun to spray salt all over your house, go wild.

        Interest rates target businesses, not consumers.

        No one goes "Oh, the RBA has put up rates by 25 basis points, looks like I'll have to cancel that dinner reservation". But business investments live and die on financing rates.

    Got one for Christmas with the laser attachment. Laser attachment definitely increases my enjoyment significantly after dialing it in.

    Surprisingly I have been struggling to find flies since owning it…I should be happy because I fricken hate flies but man I just want to pew pew them.

    I do kind of dislike it though, the salt it flings around is definitely noticeable if you're shooting it a lot, the fun outweighs this imo. I don't like that often mine doesn't knock them out cold with blunt force trauma, it kinda shocks them and they hit the floor with shredded wings but still alive. Even a point blank shot obliterates their abdomen but usually the upper body is still moving. Feels unnecessarily cruel even if I absolutely hate them. I'll clean them up and crush them with a paper towel afterwards, but I do wish it was just a quick insta kill.

    Beats a fly swatter for sure, and actually dealing with them has a very high success rate for little effort.

      Not sure if all will be effective, but a laser pointer can work.

      At work, pigeons fly into the warehouse and throwing rolled up paper balls wrapped in sticky tape can only go so far.

      Bought a 50mw laser pointer from a company in New Zealand. Used it a handful of times, pigeons don't like it pointed at their face and just flap around a bit before they piss off.

      edit - https://www.police.nsw.gov.au/online_services/firearms/laser…

      Maybe start with a cheap laser pointer that you can legally own and use at home.

    I used to think you had to hunt and kill flies that entered your property and disturbed your peace. Then I realised if I just leave a light on outside and have it darker inside they just want to go outside to the light. Apparently some don't need to die a violent death. I guess mosquitos deserve to die though.
