Hydro ammo
replace pellets with water inside shot gun ammo | |
You see in a riot police shoot plastic pellets at the ground which bounce up and hit the rioters. (this can be dificult to do at times since you would have officers infront of you holding back the riot.) Instead of doing that why not fill a shot-gun bullet with water and shoot directly? (of coarse not
at point blank)

Could this even work? I would assume the water would simply turn to a fine mist and not do any damage. |
|
|
The water would disperse on leaving the gun and would indeed be a mist. |
|
|
You'd still have to hold back with officers in front of you. |
|
|
Not if the water was shot out as chunks of ice at a steep angle up into the air and a hot steam engine was located up in the air hanging from a helicopter and the ice melted into rain and got the rioters all drenched. |
|
|
Freeze it first....Uh, Phundug just beat me to it. |
|
|
Well you could shoot it out as steam as well. |
|
|
phundug: that's pure genius but I would use a large RTG instead of a steam engine and use the power from the RTG to run an electric helicopter. Furthermore, stray shots would be targeted and melted by a pulsed MASER. |

I have never heard of this bouncing bullet riot control method. Do you have to call your shot, or is slop allowed? |
|
|
Barnes Wallis developed it, originally in order to control some German rioters. |

|
Next riot I attend, I am wearing my cup. |
|
|
Piss on 'em. No, seriously. Fill the shotshells with frozen pee - monkey pee, for extra effect - and you ought to get pretty impressive results. |
|
|
Maybe a thin gel film around the water/
dye/monkey pee... whatever? That might
make the rounds into such a soft dum-
dum round that it spreads upon impact
with any solid object and never pierces it. |
|
|
The volume of water required to be effective would exceed that available to any portable device except maybe a fire hose (which has historically been used as a crowd control device). |
|
|
Bring it on, tyrannical oppressor! We shall overcome your water and hot sauce shot guns! |
|
|
To my next demonstration, I'm taking a plate of scrambled eggs. |
|
|
What will you demonstrate with them? |
