What Does the Starter Pack Cost and Who Is It For?

The Net Gun Starter Pack is $799 and comes with one preloaded net head in the net size you choose. It does not include a carrying case, and CO2 cartridges are ordered separately.

This is the right pick if you have a single recurring problem to solve. A property owner dealing with one nuisance animal, or someone who wants to try a net gun before committing to a full kit, gets everything needed for a first capture.

The tradeoff is reload speed. With one net head, you get one shot before you have to refold and reload. If a miss means the animal is gone, the extra heads in the larger packages matter more than the price difference.

What Does the Standard Package Cost?

The Hero Net Gun, our Standard Package, is $849 and includes four preloaded net heads, an additional set of net weights, and a locking metal carrying case. CO2 is purchased separately.

Four net heads is the practical difference. You can take four shots in a row without stopping to refold a net, which matters when an animal moves or a first shot goes wide.

For $50 more than the Starter Pack you get three additional net heads and a hard case. For most working buyers this is the better value of the two.

Choosing Your Net Sizes

You pick your net sizes at checkout. Small nets are 6 feet by 6 feet with 1 inch mesh, made for small birds and rodents. Medium nets are 8 feet by 8 feet with 2 inch mesh and are the most popular, handling dogs, cats, and geese.

Large nets are 10 feet by 10 feet with 8 inch mesh, built for calves, hogs, deer, and human-sized targets. You can mix sizes across your net heads by noting the split in the checkout notes.

What Does the Platinum Package Cost?

The Net Gun Mega Pack, our Platinum Package, is $949 and is our best seller. It includes four preloaded net heads, four additional reusable nets for eight total, twelve 16 gram CO2 cartridges, an extra set of net weights, a locking metal case, and a one year parts replacement warranty.

The $100 gap over the Standard Package buys the two things people order separately anyway. Twelve CO2 cartridges alone run $21 per pack on our site, and four extra nets carry real value on their own.

Add the one year parts warranty and the Platinum comes out ahead for anyone using the tool regularly. Animal control officers, wildlife rescuers, and pest control operators running repeat captures land here consistently.

Why Do Net Guns Cost This Much?

If you expected a net gun to cost $200, that number comes from novelty launchers and toy versions that are not built for capture work. A professional net gun is a precision tool with a machined body, a sealed CO2 valve system, and high tensile nylon nets rated to hold an animal without injuring it.

The nets are a significant share of the cost. They are reusable across many captures, which is why the cost per capture drops sharply after the initial purchase.

Operating cost after purchase is low. CO2 cartridges are inexpensive, nets are reusable, and a well maintained launcher lasts for years. We break down the lifespan in our guide to how long a net gun lasts.

Is a Net Gun Worth the Price?

For anyone facing repeat capture situations, yes. A single wildlife removal service call runs $200 to $500, so a net gun pays for itself in a handful of uses.

The bigger return is the situations it makes possible. You can capture an animal without injuring it, handle a stray without direct contact, or manage a problem without escalating to force. Our guide to what animals you can catch with a net gun covers the practical range.

Net guns are generally not classified as firearms because they use compressed gas rather than gunpowder, which usually means no special license. Regulations vary by state and locality, so check your local laws before purchasing. We go deeper in is a net gun a firearm.

Common Questions About Net Gun Pricing

How much does a net gun cost?

Net guns from TheNetGunStore.com cost $799 for the Starter Pack, $849 for the Standard Package, and $949 for the Platinum Package. All three use the same launcher and fire the same distance. The price difference reflects how many net heads, nets, and cartridges are included.

Why are some net guns advertised for under $300?

Launchers priced under $300 are typically novelty or toy versions, not capture-rated equipment. They tend to use lighter materials, smaller nets, and weaker seals. For actual animal capture, professional grade equipment starts in the high hundreds.

Do I need to buy CO2 separately?

Yes for the Starter and Standard packages. The Platinum Package includes twelve 16 gram cartridges. Replacement cartridges are available on our site and use a common non-threaded 16 gram format.

Which net gun package is the best value?

The Platinum Package at $949 delivers the most per dollar for regular users, because the included CO2, extra nets, and one year parts warranty would cost more purchased separately. For occasional use, the $849 Standard Package is the better fit.

Is a net gun legal to buy?

Net guns are legal to purchase in most U.S. states and many countries, and are generally not classified as firearms. Regulations vary by state and region, so check your local laws before ordering.

How much does it cost to use a net gun after you buy it?

Very little. Nets are reusable across many captures and CO2 cartridges are inexpensive. After the initial purchase, the cost per capture is a fraction of what a single professional removal call would cost.
