The Thai's that run the banana stall outside the forests are world class with their slingshots. Everyday for them is war.

It's terrible, airsoft monkeys always keep firing even after you put your hands up.

I wonder if a squirt bottle would still work/be better? Airsoft is pretty expensive from what I remember as a kid lol

Edit: I'm sure it would be cheaper, so my real question is if the monkeys would respond well enough to water lol

Monkeys are pretty smart, obviously not people smart but they're a whole tier above cats and dogs. I doubt a water gun would work at a deterrent once they realize it's only water.

how many monkeys can you fend off with a squirt-bottle?

Alternately, a spritz bottle with a few meters of range loaded with cheap Cheyenne/ hot pepper powder water might keep them at bay?

I'm not a local. Pissed off spicy monkeys might need an unfortunate result.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one but the optics of this comment are pretty bad. It can read like an apology for shooting children, which isn't a great hill to die on.

Ope, my thoughts were that another part of why we have those orange tips is for bystanders to not run from a kid pointing a toy at them.

Obviously, you don't have black kids so you never had to worry about what would happen when the police roll up on your front lawn and your kids are playing with realistic water pistols.
