Lately I have been having an issue with hornets getting on my House.
I have taken to hunting them with a Crossman Pump-Up pellet pistol loaded with salt instead of a pellet...
Normally a nip of salt and 5 pumps does it... Normally...
Today I encountered a Japanese hornet...
It shook off salt at 5 pumps, 10 pumps, and 20 pumps.
So I switched to live ammo. .177 flat nose lead pellets. 10 pumps knocked it down for about 30 seconds before it was buzzing around again dive bombing the cats. Reloaded and hit it again with 20 pumps.... Damn near split it in half but it was still moving...
So a round ball .177 at point blank range splattered it all over one of my seabags....
