Bangsticks: ‘Primitive’ tools for primitive predators
Here at Guns.com we are well aware of thousands of different types of ‘boomsticks’, but we aren’t talking about those right now. No the ones on the table today are sticks that go bang. Read on and get in touch with that most peculiar and perhaps specialized of firearms: the bangstick.
A bangstick is a simple tool for a not so simple task: the elimination of a dangerous predator in the water on contact. To sketch out the broad strokes, it’s a pole, with a stainless steel chamber attached to it that holds a live round of ammunition over a fixed firing pin. When you hit the dangerous end of this chamber with a good amount of oomph onto a target, it forces the round back onto the pin and out fires a projectile. Most manufacturers use a simple cotter pin, hairpin, or braided wire thread as a physical safety so that the bangstick doesn’t go off until you really want it to. There is no trigger. There are no sights. There is no magazine or action, as we know it on other firearms.
In fact, even though these devices fire modern rimfire and centerfire rounds, the ATF does not consider them to be regulated firearms…but more on that later.
