This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Could be potentially useful as a decoy for avoiding direct hits to the actual cabin too, just spit balling.
Not particularly, no. I can offer to show this Humvee rhino horn meant to trick thermal sensors.
I was thinking for more human targeted weapons, though can't imagine the trick would work for long.
