Just done a quick search, and 300fps is the limit. There's a piantball park just up the road from me, and I see they have an online shop.
200 euro and you get a nice one with a feeder which will feed the balls as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Oh boy, I hope they come back!

You might just bite off more than you can chew, see you when your red with paint Heh Heh

[mickrick]

Must admit, the last Scumbag had me out of breath. Made me realise I'm not 30 years old any more!
But Hell hath no fury like my temper. It's gotten me into trouble before.
Like you say, if I get it taken off me, I may see more than Red mist! But you have to have a go eh?

Reminds me of the trip wire I set in the undergrowth around my shed. I ran it through a turning block, which I'd ziplocked to a cement mixer, then ran it up to the trigger of a rocket flare, also ziplocked to the leg of the cement mixer.
I thought, if the Morro's come for my tools again, there'll be such a bang, and the sky will light up red.
Untill I dashed around one day, in a hurry, and forgot about it!
Cuaght out by my own booby trap!

Why not just use flares anyway, they are cheaper than buying a gun and no licelce needed, especially as the inshore ones will do exactly what you are after, I wouldn't want one pointed at me that's for sure.

When I was living on my boat if ever I was anchored anywhere a bit iffy I would sleep with one of those under my pillow up forward then if anyone came down the companionway they were right in a nice straight line of fire for me.

[cabbron]

ah inshore flares now theres a memory-stored my sportsboat on my drive a few years ago and a set of those screw on cartridge type flares were stored in the dash console and duly discovered by my then 8 year old lad,too much temptation led to a small mountain fire opposite our finca and him having a strange ringing in his ears for 2 weeks

[mickrick]

I'm trying to stay out of jail. A flare will kill you.
I would rather see them piss their pants, and pop their fingers.
Plus, I can have a bit of sport with the ferral cats that the stupid bh down the road keeps introducing, and feeding twice a day around my property.
Think I'll get some nice flurescent colours for those. Maybe she'll get the hint then.

[Kneetrembler]

What is is with people and bloody cats, they always have to feed them...........and then to top it all bugger off back to the U.K. an the cats are an even more of a problem as they are always around your property looking for (Anti Freeze) food.

Shame theres not many foxes around they like a meal of Cat

[cabbron]

the root of the problem is that there is no neutering program/stray collection rescue and the spanish neither respect or understand animals.

This woman works for an animal sanctuary, but leaves them there, and feeds them. She has had them bricked, but she brings in other strays, and creeps around the vacant plots feeding the bloody mangy things.
There's 18 now, and the food is left all around my property. So my garden is full of cat st.
In fact, I've just been working there. My wife went with me for a sunbath and a swim, and the dog found a turkey bone, which one of the cats must have brought over. Had a hell of a game getting it off him.
The only thing that stops me upseting her, is I know that once we live there, the dog will keep them away.

I very much doubt it unless your dog is agressive as most Feral cats are far more agressive than most dogs, and they walk all over them.

Oh they run! 47 kilo's of growling black Lab. He goes like Lamborghini!
I know cats usualy come out on top, if cornered. But given the option they run.
He's come back with a bloody nose before, but he loves the sport.

I must say he is a lovely looking Lab he looks to be in peak condition ,just the right weight eh.

Just been watching the spanish news on 6 and in Tarragona some locals have formed their own group policing their area as they are fed up with all of the burglary and theft, becaus they are saying on T.V. that all the police forces are useless at catching anyone and can't be arsed to do their patrols.

The police are pretty pissed that it has been televised and interviewed the little group, especially as they are catching them, most of them are lazy buggers just having a stroll around in their cars and getting paid for doing bugger all.

[cabbron]

lovely lab that!my previous two alsations used to catch cats and rip them to bits between them,my current doberman absolutely fking hates cats but abides our 2 but attacks any stray entering "her" campo.

[mickrick]

Cheers! He's actualy a bit overweight. Should scare the shyte out of the Morro's too eh?

As I've said before, Policia=Tossers.
I think the Spanish fear of the GC thing, is probably from the older generation who can remember them from the Franco regime. But if you ask them, I'd bet they'll agree, Spain was a safer place then.
I know a lot of the younger guys want to make a difference.
One of my wifes lifelong friends is married to a Guardia, and they came and stayed with us for a few days holiday, and I found him to be a smashing chap.
My Brother-in-Law had one of the Special Forces Guardia rent his flat, below the house, one summer, when the King was staying at his Palace in Marivent. Again, nice guy.
I think if you have an atitude with them, right off the bat, (like getting stroppy becuase he's wearing sunglasses while talking to you) then I can see you'll get a hard time.
I always find being polite first gets a better response. After all, they have a bloody big gun!

Messing about in the garden yesterday. Suddenly, Jack jumps up and runs to the gate, barking. I look up to see two Gardia at the gate.
Checking to see if I've had any more trouble.
One of them tells me he drives by regular, and hasn't seen my halogen light with the motion senson on light up, but thought he'd ask anyway, as he'd seen my truck parked in the street.
