I have trained with most hunting types of guns, cheap japenese swords, a well made dirk, pistols, throwing axes. Lotta shit.
But I never owned a bow. I have arthritis so i can't do the pull weight and hold it. Haha if you want, but it is what it is.
Wondering what kinda weapon can be made at home that's a projectile.
Fubi was bitching at me for these birds that live in a vent where my range has it's exit port, I'm on the second story and you know what. That angry little brit was right those birds do need what's coming to them.
I'm a felon (off parole, so I can own any non gunpowder weapon) so I can't borrow a .22 from a buddy and just start shooting them till they get the picture. PLus I'm not really in the mood to shoot into my mom's house and have her find the bullet holes.
I'd take a .22 air rifle but tbh my neighbors would call the cops if I discharged a full length rifle at some random ass fucking birds when I'm drunk at 10 in the morning. Probably wouldn't, cuz they'd know it wouldn't end there and I'd figure out it was them, but I don't wanna really fuck with it.
So what can I make with a budget of oh lets be realistic 20$ at the wal mart.
Keep in mind I have arthritis but I know how to make Crossbow cockers if I need to.
No Zipguns,
inb4 Put a Bird Feeder somewhere else or some retarded ass shit.

I saw the guys from dual survival make a crossbow out of bamboo, it was really simple, and deadly.
.177 air rifles will blast some birds into hell
we would lay out dog food as bait, and shoot the birds when they came
I am known as a headshot master
just saw it off if you dont want anyone to see you using it
anyway, birds are smarter than you'd think
they send a bird to 'check it out', and if that bird doesn't die, the rest will come. If you kill one, you have to move its body or the rest will not come around
I don't think they can smell the blood, because the ground always gets soaked with blood when I do this, but they still keep coming.
maybe they just really like dog food.

Just regular Iams will work for this in a small bucket?
2015-07-25 at 5:15 PM UTC
how loud is the snap on a .177?
2015-07-25 at 5:49 PM UTC
just put the dog food in a pile on the ground
any dry dog food will do
a pellet gun isn't that loud, it sounds like a screen door slamming or something.
I forgot to add, you will need a 'blind', or some cover where the birds can't see you\
they like, send scouts to check the food, so wait until they get comfortable with the situation before shooting
we would sit inside a room and shoot outside through an open window

I would always laugh at how the birds did things
they would sit on the telephone wires, looking down at the food, and then they would send one bird to investigate
first the scout bird would do a fly by
then it would land nearby for a second, then fly away again
then it would come back and land a bit closer, but only for a second
then they land next to the food and fly away again
if nothing happens, the bird comes back and starts eating, and all the other birds come
its pretty funny

Best bet is a crossman pumpmaster .177 bb gun with a pellet in it. Its quiet enough your nieghbors wont even notice and i can vouch to killing birds at about 100 feet away
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this
post didn't die in a fire!

While the birds are happily partying with each other and enjoying their food, you will be lining up your sights.....
I bet you feel remorseful afterwards when you see the crumpled bird with blood still pumping out of it because its heart is still beating.

well, I didn';t mean like arterial spray or anything, jeeze/

Four Winds Shotgun. Make a back up in case the first breaks and you need to kill the responding officers.

did the .117 go good? i didn't totally get the situation but i bet you could try some kind of poison gas; i think they actually sell some just for this (gopher bombs aren't poisonous, i think, they just smell.)
if that doesn't work out, maybe try a trap or something; you could probably make an air gun or buy a pcp, but refills either cost money or a lot of humping a bike pump.

was going to mention a crossbow cocker.
if you have trouble drawing a bow you're probably not going to be able to throw that torpedo without hurting yourself; they're fucking heavy and judging by the CS videos I've seen, will make a bird explode.
if you're intent on making something, you'd be best off going for a slingshot, then a crossbow, then maybe a potato cannon (I've seen some pneumatic types that shoot AA-batteries and do some serious damage), then maybe a coilgun but that's more a fun experiment than practical.

^ potato cannon's a good idea, just make sure your piping kills the bird and not you
