Comment on This isn't fair
TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 5 days agoBe careful around those tires, especially if it’s an MRAP. They’re high psi and under a ton of pressure. You usually have to use a remote inflater, just in case one of them blows when you’re filling them up.
A better route to disable any armoured vehicle would be to spray the window with acetone or a high strength ammonia. Ballistic glass has a polycarbonate layer that protects it from scratches and chips. The chemicals will make polycarb fog up really bad. The field of view in any armoured vehicle is already so bad they won’t be able to use it if it gets any worse. That’s unless they send the whole vehicle to one of the few private places that can delaminate it. It’s very expensive and time consuming.

100%, never stab a large vehicle tire. I was waiting in the ER once and some guy got pulled in by an ambulance and squad car, apparently when he tried slashing a semi tire, the thing blew out it sidewall and broke the guys arm, and he ended up with the shiv/screwdriver lodged in his leg.

Guessing the solvent would probably melt the casing of the paint ball. Acetone is a polar aprotic solvent, so it can bond with water and dissolve fats. I’m guessing the shells of a paint ball would probably be made out of a glycol or gelatin substance.
You’d prob be better off filling and throwing/slingshots a lightbulb or some other thin glass container.

Freeze the paintballs and inject the solution in the center? Then allow to thaw just as you get in firing range?

I hope you have access to a supply of liquid nitrogen…
