15mm Double Shot Launcher

I purchased this launcher to scare away crows that collect walnuts from the neighbor's tree and bring them over to my house roof where they try to break the Walnuts open on my skylight. They don't seem to move when I yell at them, but now that I have this....it seems to get their attention and now they stay away!

Highly recommend this launcher! It's perfect!

This is an awesome product. Also a bit fun to use. The geese go running after the loud boom.

The only thing better than the product sold (launcher) is the outstanding customer service. Mandy was quite helpful in assisting this computer illiterate while placing my order. Thank you

We have had a problem with prey birds attacking our free range rabbits and chickens. This thing WORKS! But ohhh also yeah by the way these are definitely FUN! They spiral up into the air leaving a trail of sparkles and then give us a very satisfying BOOOM! Sadly, I haven't seen any birds to scare away the last couple of days, darn it...

We have a goose as well as a coot (mud Hen) issue near several pond on our course. Our dog has passed away and bird banger is a great replacement

I had much lower expectations. I'm pleasantly surprised as to the quality and functionality of the launcher. I figured it would be less substantial and more plastic. Nope. It's heavy and solid, only clad with safety orange plastic. I guess I've become too accustomed to nearly everything being so cheaply made in China. If I'm not mistaken, this piece is German made. I'm also glad that I spent the extra few dollars to get the two barrel launcher. I am using the bird bangers for a frequent bear visitor, although he stopped coming for my outside evening coffee. He doesn't like a plastic chair being banged on the asphalt at him, so I can only imagine he'd loathe a bird banger or two sent over his head. Of course, I've tested it. That thing is loud and freaking awesome! I'm a 53 year old woman, but it's hard for me to resist shooting them off just for the fun if it and I have actual rifles that I don't ever use other than to keep them maintained. That's how great I think this thing is!

Have now used it a couple of times on the Canada Geese. I have used both the bangers and the Screemers. So far each time I shot it they have flown away. So, so far so good. I'm finding it a little hard to believe that these could explode right by the geese and they would hardly move. These are very loud and so far the Geese are not liking it.

We purchased the launcher and the bird bangers to scare away Canadian Geese. The gun is well constructed and works well. The bird bangers fit loosely in the launcher and will fall out if you tip it down. The bird bangers are extremely loud but the geese hardly moved when they exploded right next to them. The ducks that were with the geese flew a short distance then landed.

This was purchased to replace a full-metal launcher from back in the day. It has worked well so far and been effective at displacing coyotes and bears from our properties. The only thing that seems to differ from our original launcher, is that the shots do not travel as far. I'm unsure if this is due to the loose fit in the double launcher or the manufacturing of the bangers and screamers. Some will explode 1/2 the distance of other shots and it's a bit unnerving. Besides that, all seems to be working well so far.

The bangers and screamers are very effective at scaring away vultures, and the launcher does the job of getting them to their intended destination. However, the double launcher is not particularly reliable, as about half the time both barrels go off at the same time, which defeats the purpose of the double launcher, which is intended to allow for automatic re-cocking after the first shot, thus facilitating a brief delay before launching the second shot. The folks at WCS are great, especially Melissa, who was very friendly and responsive, a real pleasure to deal with. As I said, in spite of the simultaneous firing of both barrels, the system is very effective at scaring away pesky and destructive vultures, and is actually fun to use. You should definitely consider getting this system if you are having a problem with vultures.

Well, I have to say this works very well. I have the double shot and love it. I also got the bird bangers, for hawks mostly It works almost too well. After one or two run-ins with the bangers, they hardly seem to come around at all. One large hawk i've never seen again. I always give 'em both shots, one to get 'em going and one to keep 'em going. I almost wish they would come around more, as this is kind of fun to shoot. Great product, five star rating, super fast shipping ,very friendly to deal with and the form is no big deal. GET ONE! Thanks again! Rich Susany

Worked very well to scare the birds off from our raised bed garden. Pistol is easy to use and the 2nd shot helped for the stubborn birds.

I have used the single shot launcher successfully for many years to discourage nuisance coastal brown and interior grizzly bears both near our home in southeast Alaska and in wilderness camps. I recently purchased the double launcher so I would have the option for a quick follow up shot. The double launcher has only one flaw, in my opinion. Whereas my single launcher has a “half-cock” hammer position which serves as a “safety” the double launcher does not. When in close proximity to brown and grizzly bears, there is a sense of urgency and nervousness which makes fumbling with the small blanks somewhat difficult. Therefore, I prefer to keep the launcher loaded with blanks and ready to insert a “banger” and fire without delay. Unfortunately, the absence of the safe half-cock position means that the hammer rests directly on the rim fire of the blank cartridge. It takes little imagination to envision the danger of accidental discharge, either by direct blow to the hammer or by having it slip while cocking. This caveat notwithstanding, I highly recommend this product and can testify regarding its effective use in hazing curious and potentially dangerous and destructive bears.

Worked great for keeping geese off our beach

Black vultures are nesting and destroying our woods and children's play areas. Foxes were chasing pets and wouldn't run from humans. Banger arrived within a couple of days after the company received forms. Does seem to be working on the buzzards and foxes. Should have a safety.

I was actually surprised. I just guessed where I should aim and about when they would blow and the first two shots were right on.

Best thing ever to relocate the turkey Vultures. They are destroying our trees, roof, and kids play area

The only down-side to purchase was the $40 hazmat fee with purchase, the gun is well built and the screamers really scream and quite effective on geese, hopefully can keep them from breeding on the golf course. The gun could use a safety.

The launcher is working well; having two shots allows us to fire a Banger followed up with a Screamer which really scares away those pesky vultures!

I was a bit skeptical because it looks like a toy gun, but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use and how loud the Bird Banger and Screamer cartridges are (non-pyro licensed ones). It's actually loud enough just using blanks to scare geese off the yard and to alert bears that you're in the area. Make sure to read how to install the cartridges though because the directions aren't the clearest for someone new at this and you wouldn't want them exploding. Also, buy the cartridges in bulk as there is a hazardous shipping fee. The shipping was super fast and customer service was excellent, they even called to make sure I sent in the required form for personal use. Suggestions for improvement would be that the banger has a safety switch, an easier way to uncock the trigger without having to dry-fire, and a cover (a nylon bag like used for paintball guns) that keeps the cartridges in place as they will fall out quite easily, and a holster/case for both the banger and cartridges would be nice as an added purchase option. I'd probably go with the one that shoots 5 rounds next time, but this is a great starter piece and we finally have our yard back and peace of mind against bears in the northwoods.

Works well with bird banger to chase geese off my yard.
