This would even the odds in Dundee. When those s****** throw missiles at you when you are fixing the phones

that should be just right

Tell you what - I may even get one!

This is the sort of thing I would have used when little b*****ds threw a wall brick at my car on November the 4th (mischevous night). If I'd have been travelling any faster it would have gone through the window and hit either the missus or the kids... I stopped got out the car and saw about 30+ teenagers looking menacingly at me. Got in the car, phoned the cops and drove off. Now I have a £500 repair bill!!!! T***S

I get stuff thrown at me almost every call out to the Dumpdee Its almost expected in several parts so we call out the other tech to keep a watch. The thing the p***** me off is its there phones and broadband that goes off when they trash the equipment.


Upgrade to paintball gun

My little bro's got one of them, gotta watch the ruber though, as it starts to crack, would like it to snap back into your eye

Unfortunatly ebay don't do paintball guns anymore

i prefer the crossbow a bit further down

Barnett Black Widow catapults........... now that brings back some memories.

I have a Barnett Cobra, one up from the widow (its got an arm brace rather than a wrist brace so you can get a better pull on it). One hell of a catapult i can tell you! Dead accurate too. Puts those 8mm steel BB's through beer cans at 10yds easy enough.

Some of the Barnett cross bows are accurate to 60yds...

You don't want to be messing with a brace if you're up a pole . If you use the .38 shot you will kill someone though, they are fatal to rodents which is what some of these lowlifes are.

gadget shop sells paintball guns....only a tenner too....

yup, the good old "Barnett Black Widow", had one in my teens. We used to go up the old railway line behind where we lived and shoot holes in cans, bottles, or whatever we could find. We used to find marbles were the best (and cheapest) ammo we could get without being asked too many questions. Pete's right though you could kill someone very easily with one of those.

I still have my old (refurbished several times over) Milbro catty pult.
1/4" rubber with Leather pouch. (Old style) Mini CV joint Ball bearings are pretty good up to about 100 yards. Lethal at 25 yards!!.

Its also 36 years old and still in fine fettle.
not like its owner... 52 and falling apart!

aluminium straddle with 1/4" black elastic. It's been modernised with some tiewraps because you can't get shotwire any more to hold the pouch on. I do have a Black Widow with powerbands though.
