12 Completely Insane Inventions That Actually Got Made
8. Mouse Trap Pistol
Sometimes those pesky rodents just don't get the message, apparently the conventional mousetrap is not enough of a clue that you want them to pack their bags and leave.
Luckily, the Revolver Mousetrap leaves no room for such ambiguity.
Rid yourselves of vermin once and for all with this device designed by J.A. Williams in 1882. This device eliminates the risk that pests will be able to avoid the snapping part of a trap or wriggle free, as it guarantees that whatever sets it off will be magically transformed into a red smudge on the opposite wall.
The bait is placed on a spring loaded lever and, when the pest activates this pressure plate, the carefully aimed revolver will fire and send the beast on a one way trip to mousey heaven.
For a limited time only, this machine is also available to industrial strength cleaning products that will effectively remove blood, guts and fur from almost any surface. Trust us, you're going to need them.
