We make some killer bug spray - I swear it could be used as a chemical weapon!

Funny project, years ago a guy in R&D had the idea of filling paint ball capsules with a highly concentrated insecticide, using a CO2 powered paintball gun and using it to blast wasp nests.

They spent a lot of time and effort on a project that seemed cool but had its draw backs:
1) The balls actually shot through the nest which just pissed off the wasps
2) The EPA and ATF would not allow the 'gun' to look like a gun so it was design to look like anything but...which meant it was very uncomfortable to use and lacked accuracy.
3) Although many people thought it was cool no one wanted to spend a few hundred bucks on such a device.

The project was a flop.

The up-side, I have one in my garage that I scored for free along with a bag of highly concentrated insecticide. I have yet to use it but R&D has assured me it will work on Zombies as well as yellow jackets and wasps!
