Shooting cockroaches? Either a good shot or unlucky cockroach. I'm not anti gun but BBs tend to bounce, ricochet. Mine will likely break floor tiles. The line, your gonna shoot your eye fits, Just step on the darn thing. Florida solution to cockroaches is to call them Palmetto bugs. Everything may be bigger in Texas but a New York cockroach makes a Texas cockroach into a Palmetto bug.
