Gatling gun + Giant hopper feeder full of stuffed animals
+
amplified children laughing soundtrack
I see this device being used for crowd control primarily.
Envision an angry mob on track for violence then
suddenly
law enforcement opens up with a barrage of the cutest
cuddliest stuffed
animals synchronized to a megaphone
broadcast of children laughing.
Two strategies at work:
a: cute stuffed animals make people smile especially
cuddly ones, this might defuse individuals
experiencing insane fury.
b: crows of angry people could be completely imobilized
in
a sea of stuffed animals.

As a bonus, a soft toy soaked in petrol, lit and
thrown, is very nearly as effective as a Molotov
cocktail. |

Only if you put a bottle full of volatile accelerant inside it ... but then, your family knows all about that, don't they ? |

Neutral on the idea itself, due to the distinct lack of lethality and failure to employ live cats as ammunition. |

I'm pretty sure that none of my ancestors have
resorted to such primitive forms of flammable
projectile, which are only really used by the ill-
prepared rabble. |

It is true, of course, that the 2nd Earl of
Clannbuttock (one of the more gnarled roots of
our family tree) once rounded up an entire flock
of sheep which had strayed onto his best grouse
moor, doused them in olive oil and trebucheted
them back one by one, in flames, into the village
whence the shepherd came. Howevertheless, you
have to admit that this was a far more refined
strategy than the mere hurling of petrol-soaked
objects. Moreovermore, his generosity was
ultimately hailed by the villagers who, being now
homeless, were most grateful for the barrage of
cooked sheep. |
