stubby 175 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 just flicking through e bay, and came across a mole gun from germany, any of you mole trappers ever heard of such a thing presume it works a bit like harri karri, mole pushes onto the front, and blows its bloody head off here's the number;230235360282 Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 They have a pressure plate like most mole traps do except when Mr Mole pushes it up he is not met by squeezing jaws or spears but by a charge of lead. Many were made from old WW2 rifle actions on the continent, that one you have found there is a modern copy of an old type. OTC Quote Link to post

OTC As i understand it moles are a protected species in Germany..........just another useless fact i suppose Rolfe. Quote Link to post
Holdaway 2 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I prefer C4 and short time delay. Just long enough to get their bollox over the plate... Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 First one I ever came across was Swiss (or Swedish? One of the two). Bloke had it amongst a huge display of traps at a GameFair. (I think it was Trevor, OTC). I asked what the hell it was and, sure enough, he explained to me that it fired a .303 round!!! Then he walked away as I just stood there with my jaw on my boots! Quote Link to post

Probably the best of the "cheapies". Jaws tended to be a bit wide, but the coil spring made for a clean kill and they didnt collapse after a few frosts unlike some. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 cheers for that trappa, may sway me to get a few Quote Link to post
Steve Albano 21 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I happened to come across a "mole gun" on the French ebay site. Funny name, and I think it must shoot blank charges. Can't believe it would be legal to use live ammo in one of these. Quote Link to post
