15mm Double Shot Launcher

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.\nPistol 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!
