12ga, trip alarm, bear perimeter deterrent

thingiverse

Always check local laws prior to printing, it's your responsibility, not mine! Sorry if you live in my horrible state of New York or California; they won't see the usefulness of this little beauty, but you will see an appearance ticket. Designed to scare bears and other wildlife, protect perimeter around camp with a loud deterrent. 12-gauge blanks will have to be sanded on one end into a rounded tip capable of detonating a percussion cap. The advantage is they are light and if used properly, very simple. Easy to back pack and don't cause injury to the animals. The design is to produce a loud bang sufficient enough to scare a curious bear away without causing harm to you or said wildlife. To load, place spring in hole, add clevis on top (sanded end facing shell), lock in place using cotter key in slot. Strap (zip tie) to small tree securely facing away from camp and humans! Using pencil or stick or something push clevis pin in all the way, insert cotter key in back (run string first and tie to cotter key). Once everything is secure, you can slide shell into apparatus (BLANK; DO NOT USE PROJECTILE SHELLS!!!) Leave area, preferably placing warning tape or something to alert humans there is a deterrent there. Place shell in place as the last thing you do before exiting the area. https://www.mcmaster.com/93890a405 & https://www.mcmaster.com/1986k365 Bear trips line pulls rear cotter key and bang. Bear frightened (should run off and not maul you for scaring the crap out of them). Downside might be some bear poo in camp, and maybe yours too but no bear. DO NOT USE WHILE STUPID; serious physical danger can result from improper use. Hearing loss, damage to body or death can occur. Use at your own risk. DO NOT USE LIVE AMMO!! This falls under don't be stupid, and death can occur among other things. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE LIVE AMMO. BLANKS only non-projectile!!!! (This means no bird shot, sabots, dragon's breath, grenades, salt, nickles; I don't care what you fantasy is don't do it!) DO NOT USE WHILE STUPID, DRUNK, ect.... Anything else that may be detrimental to you or others health or well being. DO NOT USE CLOSE TO anyone!!! Hearing hearing hearing (It's not funny! No practical jokes) USE COMMON SENSE!! Don't be an idiot. Part may not hold up after firing. Do not reuse! One time use only; depending on material printed out of it, it may lose structure when fired. Do not use close to humans or animals. I accept no liability for use of this.... Use at your own risk.
