I love my grandma, I really do. She was born and raised on the farm up north, and has a real no nonsense kind of way about her. A few years ago when we were visiting them, my grandparents were having a real problem with raccoons getting into their trash cans and spreading their trash around the yard during the night. They said they’d tried everything, and that airsoft guns were the best thing they’d seen work since then.
At first I was shocked, and told them they couldn’t shoot the little guys like that. But then they explained that the airsoft gun wasn’t to kill the critters, just to scare them away. The gun they had purchased didn’t shoot nearly hard enough to kill anything, just to hit the trashcan and make a noise that would scare them away.
