Wouldn’t you sleep better at night in your camp or after a disaster, if you had a little guardian angel watching over you? I know I would. But short of having an actual angel stand guard, what on earth could do this night watchman task? Another person could certainly watch your back, but this isn’t an option if you’re alone or if everyone is exhausted.

Enter the Viking perimeter alarm, a device that fires a .22 blank when the tripwire is hit. A device like this could be useful for a variety of scenarios—if it passes muster. Let’s see

The first pleasant surprise that the Viking tripwire provided was its feather-light weight. At less than three ounces and with a compact size, this device wouldn’t take up much room in a bug out bag or hunting pack. The body of the device is CNC cut from a fine grade of aircraft aluminum, making it light – yet string and corrosion resistant.

I was watching one of the reality TV gun store shows a while back. Some guy brought in a 4 or 6 barrel pistol with a wire pull triger. They told him it was a trapers gun trap. Sold back how ever long ago. The bait was put on the triger wire and when the animal pulled on the bait BANG a face full of lead. Legal to own but not legal for trapping anymore.

Yep. The guy that owned the ranch I worked on had one like SP described as well. They made them illegal because of too many accidents.

Edit. We called them coyote killers. I didn't know they had a different name.
