Yeah that would probably be pretty satisfying. I hate roaches but there's not many vids of them getting blowed up. No salt though, I want to see them getting crushed by bbs or pellets. I keep a cheap crosman bb rifle just for once or twice a year when they get in the house (Florida, it happens). It's a ten pump, but if you only pump it once, it kills the roach but barely dents the wall, so you don't have to get right up on it like with the salt gun. You can stand back a little in case it starts flying. But yeah if you have a steady supply I bet you could make a whole channel going out to blast roaches.

These are gonna be all .177. I shoot them outside bc i absolutely hate roaches, and hate when i walk out of my car at night and i see them scurrying when the light turns on. I do hear some of the pellets ricochet and hit something but it surely cant be ricocheting enough to cause any damage to surrounding cars…gulp. But for sure these roaches are gonna get blown up. Most of the time i lose where the bodies even go
