It's getting harder & harder for our corporate conflict
resolution teams to get some of their more traditional
equipment
past airport security these days (they take a very dim view of
firearms in your luggage for some reason) & buying kit at the
other end
in unfamiliar territory can pose all
sorts of other problems.
But one of our R&D guys (we call him P, he's not quite Q)
recently proposed a potential
solution.
Paintball guns, very high velocity ones.
With non newtonian paintball ammo.
Looks just
like
ordinary paintball ammo.
Delivered from a paintball
gun
from the high velocity end of the spectrum though..
And no one's going to get iffy about a few toy guns in
your luggage, not if it's not in your hand luggage anyway.

I don't remember seeing it but given our love of custard
hard to believe this one's
not
been done? |

You would want the "ball" itself to be soft & flexible, rather
than the "break apart on impact" that proper paint-ball balls
are. Otherwise your target will just get covered in custard
instead of bruised and incapacitated. (They would then also
be recoverable & re-usable.) |

Would it not be simpler to explain to the security officer that,
yes, you are going paintballing; and yes, you're also going to a
marbles tournament? |

//Would it not be simpler// |

But then we wouldn't be able to use spare ammo as handy
little custard snacks if we get peckish on assignment. |

We had to make a rule about not freezing the painballs back when I still played. |
