15mm Double Shot Launcher

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

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!

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