Could easily carry a can of Silly String, or some sort of low-recoil web launcher.<br />Doesn't fit the specific requirements for Deer Trail, of course, but it might be popular with the rural, privacy-loving crowd.Eric Wilnerhttp://siliconvalleyredneck.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-22991523161282407402013-07-20T14:36:45.355-04:002013-07-20T14:36:45.355-04:00Get'cher permits RIGHT HERE!

Attach the pieces to the corners of an eight-way symmetrical spider-web / snowflake looking thing made up of... something. I dunno if fishing line would be adequate or if you'd need thin steel cable. Then figure out how to pack it such that it will open, much like a parachute needs to be carefully packed, and depending on how much space and weight the net constitutes, stuff either one or two of them in the hull. Then fire the darn thing out of a rifled shotgun barrel (finally, they're good for something!) so centrifugal motion causes the eighths to fly apart as the whole object rotates. I have <b>no</b> idea what the ballistics would be like.<br /><br />And I like the small-arms chain-shot idea.<br /><br />But the high tension silly-string equipped hunter drone idea appeals to me, too. :Dperlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-6562515729576553062013-07-20T08:11:57.787-04:002013-07-20T08:11:57.787-04:00Two words: Proximity FuzeTwo words: Proximity FuzeAliennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-66276869825289337512013-07-20T07:18:09.275-04:002013-07-20T07:18:09.275-04:00It's only dangerous if you miss.
