What Is It?

  • Bugsy McGreen's BugShot™ ammo is an alternative non-salt ammunition specifically formulated to optimize shooting performance in pump-action bug blasters, such as the Bug-A-Salt v2.5, 3.0, 3.5 blasters.


  • BugShot ammo is made from industrial grade crushed walnut shells. It is 100% all-natural, non-toxic (to both plants and animals) and biodegradable.


  • It operates safely and effectively with most pump-action bug blasters, but please read the disclaimer section below. If you do not own a bug blaster, you are missing out on a lot of fun! Click here to buy one now! 


Velocity and energy delivery comparisons of BugShot ammo vs. conventional salt ammo

How Does it Work?

  • Larger Granules: Like a shot gun, bug blasters use kinetic energy of fast-moving granules ("shot") to inflict damage. Faster-moving, more-massive granules inflict more damage. BugShot granules, on average, are 3-4x more massive than ordinary table salt. 


  • More Kinetic Energy: BugShot granules are also 40% less dense than ordinary table salt. This combination of higher mass and lower density enables BugShot granules to accelerate to higher velocities, releasing up to 5x more kinetic energy per granule on impact.


  • More Punch: BugShot granules are not only faster and more energetic, they deliver their energy to the target over a shorter period of time, resulting in more "punch" compared to salt. Sharp edges also help penetrate a target and inflict even greater damage on impact.


Why Is It Better?

  • BugShot ammo delivers more kinetic energy with more punch than salt, significantly increasing the lethality of your bug blaster.


  • Unlike salt, BugShot ammo will never clump or clog even in the worst humidity. You can leave your bug blaster loaded with ammo ready to go at a moments notice. Don't try that with salt!


  • BugShot ammo is made from plant-safe biodegradable walnut shells. Salt, on the other hand, is highly toxic to many plants and can cause devastating collateral damage to any plants that get caught in the cross-fire. While shooting a single load of salt may not seem like much, repeated shots can accumulate over time causing injury and distress.


  • BugShot ammo is easy to clean up. Salt, on the other hand, is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). That means if it is not thoroughly cleaned up right away, any remaining salt grains will form sticky pools of saturated brine that soak in and attack/corrode whatever surface they happen to be on (flooring, carpet, furniture, fabrics, etc.)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

  • BugShot ammo is a third-party accessory not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Skell Inc. (the manufacturer of the Bug-A-Salt bug blaster) or any other bug blaster manufacturer. 


  • Please be aware that using any non-salt ammunition in your Bug-A-Salt bug blaster will absolutely void the manufacturer’s warranty. If that's going to keep you up at night, then do not use this product! Otherwise, enjoy the upgrade and use responsibly at your own risk.
