[No.6]

Ar!

I can see people slavering to sue people captured on Ring cams, bursting their inflatable garbage.

Anyway I’d want one of those auto BB guns for the purpose. Quiet, cheap, unlikely to go through and do further damage.

I'll bet a small pointed projectile like a dart would work well -- it would pierce the inflatable but lose momentum and drop to the ground inside or right behind the inflatable, so no likelihood of collateral damage. 4th Rule of Gun Safety: "Be sure of your target and what is beyond it."

The dart could be fired almost silently from a handheld device (miniature crossbow would be cool).

I guess the drawback of a dart is that a kid might get hurt if they find it, whereas a BB is pretty innocuous.
