Since it's marketed and sold as a toy, removing the safety isn't an issue; Think of all the nerf (and similar brand) guns that never had one in the first place. The safety is simply added by the manufacturer to improve the overall safety- pun intended- as well as to make it seem more like an actual firearm, i.e. more dangerous.

Great review, compare and contrast
I took a chance and bought the 2.0 and after sitting by my trash cans for over an hour with a few beers, I noticed my thumb was getting a blister from how many times I was selecting it to fire. Yes, I have shot it that much / had that much fun with it. You'll find yourself intentionally leaving rotting food or other perishables out just to attract flies. I'm happy to see the 3.0 has the upgraded safety! I didn't necessarily want to fork over more money for another one but I've got more than enough entertainment value out of the first one that I'm gifting it to someone else!

How durable is this gun compared to the others? Does the salt chamber clog up? I have the lawn and garden edition 2.0 actually two and one broke and won't stay cocked. I find that regular salt clogs up especially when it's humid and Kosher's salt works a little better and longer before clogging. I don't like having to clean out the salt from inside the salt chamber. Hopefully this model addresses these issues.

The issue was tonight somehow a wasp got in my pad, I shot him several times before he was stunned so time for an upgrade!! I hope these things get powerful enough to blast a Texas sized cockroach....seriously....flies are great, but bigger game is what I'm wanting to go after!!! Seriously....I shot a scorpion the other day and it got away, and I was craving a more powerful shot!! Hopefully this moves into the CO2 realm, I don't like spraying chemicals and crap everywhere....a larger more powerful blast of salt is the name of the game....obviously to much for a fly...but again a model for large insects would be awesome!! Can't live without my 2.0... smashing flies is disgusting....clean kill is much better!!
