I'm sure this is going to sound insane and lazy and leave you wondering where I get the brain time to create such insane schemes but I was walking back from the outermost pond yesterday (about 200 yards from the house) and though "wouldn't it be nice if I did not have to walk out here to feed these fellas" and that is when I thought about how close the koi and turtle food pellets were in size to an airsoft gun. Well I loaded up one of the box clips with turtle food and sure enough it fired them about 1/3 of the distance a regular plastic bb goes and also was very consistent in where they landed so now I can just go to the first pond and feed the critters and then just shoot the rest into the outer pond. Don't worry though because the gun does not fire fast enough to harm anything and especially not enough to penetrate the water. If you are as crazy as me the airsoft gun is a M-4 Carbine replica full automatic and you can pick one up from Wal-Mart for about $90.00 or so but I recommend you get an extra battery which is only another 8 dollars so you never have to wait for charge time.

Sorry but that made me laugh:ROFLMAO:
I agree you should walk to your koi and interact with them, or what's the point of having them

Just hope you don't have any neighbors close by to see you using that! Could be issues!
My neighbors are already aware of this as well as my real guns so no real issue there. Actually I don't think I have any neighbors who don't have guns lol

@Marshall I think you need to look at your turtles for inspiration of how to have a slower brain process :p
Technically it was Atlas who gave me the idea. He sent me a turtle-text message with all the details :D
