This would be ideal for destroying someone's computer from a distance. If the impact of the bullet didn't physically destroy the machine, the malware-loaded flash drive might lodge in the USB port and infect it, thus destroying it from the inside out.

That's pretty silly alright. |

I was hoping for a normal bullet that I could shoot infected computers with. Damn sight quicker than rebuilding... |
|

That's two high-tech projectile weapons in one day for you, [andrewbee]. A favorite mode of yours ? (-) |

It would be better is the bullet exploded gently, spraying the
interior of the computer with dust and plagueing the user
with many small and annoying difficulties until a few months
later, when the CPU finally dies. Ha! Ha! Ha! |

I like it, especially because of the assertion that it would be ideal and the improvement on a simple bullet described. Rather than destructive malware I think the Bonzi Buddy would suffice,as the computer would then have the purple Buddy to keep it company as it recovered from its bullet wound. |

This scheme reminds me of the Mercury Bow cited in an anno to a scheme here: a railgun fired projectile made of mercury, so the person who gets hit by it then develops mercury poisoning. Like you don't have enough to worry about after being it by a railgun! |

Surely there's a bit of a grey area in between "destroying someone's computer" and "ending up correctly and firmly placed in the USB slot with all electronic connections intact and without damaging anything"? |

[-] boo that is just plain mean.
I'd like to say welcome to the halfbakery, but I wish you were nicer...(for the moment). |
|
| |
[xandram] Yeah, well, some days I'm nice and some days I'm not. Stick around and you'll see plenty of ideas that are less destructive! |
|

[normzone] - I think the use of storage media for destructive purposes has been greatly underestimated. The Pentagon should be taking a long hard look at this. The fragmentation potential of DVDs had hardly even been touched on yet. |

Bizzarely you can get bullet-shaped USB drives but you connect them by plugging them in rather than actually firing them into a computer. |

It transfers both data and kinetic energy at approx. 1200 ft./sec. |
