Do it over city property or in and around city buildings. Or in/around the properties of consenting citizens.

" Usually not terribly waterproof."

A pressure washer with the right nozzle setting can reach pretty high.

Actually, if you have good water line pressure, I have a hose-fitting pressure washing nozzle that will do fairly well...

Yeah, but usually the cameras on those things look down and forwards. Not up. They’d get a good video recording of your pressure washing ‘attack on government property’. Not so much if a gallon of water drops on it from above.

RE:"Any officer now will need high level approval... "

Is this the same "high level approval" needed to send ramboed-up jack booted thugs to kick down doors using no-knock warrants? 😬

Seems like both of those would require some fairly decent accuracy. I’d go with the Mossgerg 500 scatter gun.

Good on you. Use these in it:

Can’t shoot it down in the city limits, so what might be a good way to bring it down?

Ram it with another one.

Then call the cops and tell them that the neighborhood's drug dealer just had a collision with your drone while he was trying to drop another load of drugs in your neighborhood.

Mossberg

OK. You win. But I'd suppress it ;).

Seems prudent, and I certainly wouldn't want to scare the neighborhood children, cats and dogs. Would you have a couple more of those Mouseburger cans? And in a little larger diameter to fit my double-barrel, perhaps?

Hey! I got to see the last live fire of those Dusters. They were at Camp Robinson in the late 1980s. I was a teenager.

AR ARNG was some of the last M42 AA unit in the nation to have them. Those 40mm were awesome. Some are on the registry ;)....if you can feed them.

Camp Joseph T. Robinson has about 4-6 of them on base in various conditions.

When the troubles came with the forced integration in Little Rock and Eisenhower sent armed federal marshals and border patrol agents sworn in as temporary marshals, the governor's military staff were very aware of Eisenhower's role in using horse cavalry and tanks under George Patton and Dwight Eisenhower, then Captains, to attack and kill veterans of the *bonus Army* for their peaceful but politically embarassing demonstrations in the 1920s. Accordingly, two units oif the AR National Guard were placed in reserve against the possibility of the use of federal troops against Arkansas citizens, as happened at Kent State decades later, or in the event of an attemot to kill the governor.

One unit was an AA defense company equipped with Quad Fifties. The other was an AA unit equipped with M42 *twin 40* Dusters. Both had live ammunition, the Dusters having HE rounds loaded in clips on board. They were not kidding around.

BTW: a fired 40mm case with the rim turned off makes a pretty neat suppressor body for a .45 can. Back when I had an Ingram M10, I had one made from one.

We used to have a policy in the Navy that we didn’t do torpedo training attacks on merchant ships because they might get alarmed.

As a tank gunner in Germany in the mid/late 1960s, we used to road march to a spot overlooking the South Autobahn out of Munich where we could practice tracking targets moving at 100 kph or better, sometimes a lot better. That was a lot faster than a Soviet T-55 or T-62 tank could move, but if you could track the fast ones well, the slower stuff was easy meat. The German motorists might have been a little nervous had they known we had our basic ammo loads of 63 rounds of main gun ammo and around 20,000 rounds of 7,62 NATO for the Coaxial machinegun on board.

We were the top-scoring *High Tank Battalion* in Germany that year, 1966. The tank division outfits that got extra gunnery training as a result were not happy with us.

Back then, the 70th was the oldest and most decorated independent tank battalion in the US Army. It still is.

Cute! I'd been thinking along the lines of one of those bowling ball mortars sometimes seen at *Punkin' chunkin* Pumpkin shoots. Made out of the bottom foot-and-a-half or so of an O2 cylinder....

My last incursion into The World of the Red Legs has been a farm store post driver that was on sale at $20. Lots of fun possibilities with it, too.
