What a terrible thing to say, both of you.

Mortars would be far more effective.

I was thinking claymores, but I'm not picky.

We could trebuchet RFK's disease ridden corpse and infect them with the plague.

Stop, you had me at "trebuchet RFK".

I wouldn't sully such a high quality siege engine. No, it's the catapult for the lines of him.

He looks like he's about 90 kg (give or take) and I kinda like having 300 meters or so of range to work with. Can always burn it down once contaminated and build more as needed.

We should really be asking the Ukrainians about how their drone bombs work. Purely from an academic standpoint, of course.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Many of them are high pressure 40mm grenades with some 3D printed parts stuck on. They've moved to injection molding for the adapted munitions now that the war has progressed, but you still see examples of the 3D printed stuff being used. It's shockingly effective (note that you need to modify the grenade detonator for air-dropping to work, I couldn't find those files in the fifteen seconds I dedicated to this (sorry)). Then just hook it up to any R/C plane bomb drop kit, there's a bajillion of them out there to choose from.

The suicide drones are usually detonator-modified RPG-7 rockets attached to the drone on 3D printed mounts and then detonated lunge-mine style. Not as effective against personnel vs. the 40mm grenades, but certainly not ineffective. More expensive, though.

One is easier to get than the other. Gotta work with whatcha got

You can make black powder at home. That's what I shoot my old guns with and have reloaded shotgun shells with it. In America you can have 50 pounds.

2 KNO3 + S + 3 C β†’ K2S + N2 + 3 CO2

Get pure sulphur, not some garden shit, too much inert ingredients. KNO3 is stump killer. Roll your own carbon (charcoal) in a paint can (tiny hole on top!) in a camp fire. Keep it easy and make it by the kilo, ingredient percentages work out easy. Everyone got a kitchen scale?

Fake, but effective, napalm is nothing more or less than stuffing styrofoam in a jar (wide mouthed!) with a couple of fingers of unleaded. Quart jar takes (round about) the packing of a standard TV, couple of ounces of fuel. Anyway, once lighted, won't fucking stop. Great for wet campfires!

Fuses are basically KNO3 and powdered sugar. Same for model rocket engines! Super easy to look up and fabricate. Probably want to go for "slow burn" fuses.

Mortars are available wherever fireworks are sold. Just a bit of DIY required on the business end.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Lord. Never thought of that, and I'll not add to the comment. :)

According to Adam Savage, hand grenades are extremely difficult to get ahold of. Nigh impossible.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wouldn't trust something like that anyway. Old detonators, old everything, likely sat in a leaky warehouse for 20+ years. Grenades timers are "3-5" seconds. But every half second you cook it your risk probably doubles or triples. Using old stuff stored in unknown conditions? No thanks.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't have to buy one. Just sayin'. Illegal as fuck!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'll take my capitalistic right to boycott black market grenades.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Drones trained with pictures like this one might work like operation Spiderweb.
