Fair point, and I did reach for a rifle analogy where a blunderbuss belongs. Table salt granules are irregular, low density, and moving maybe 20 or 30 feet per second with almost no spin. The launch itself is most of the story. They shed speed within inches. So the real question is what the muzzle velocity even is. Most of these you blow through or pump, so it is probably slower than you would guess, and the effective range is basically where the cloud of salt reaches the fly. Where do you typically have to be to connect?
