  175 lbs of Tannerite. Boris, the house and some part of the neighborhood will attempt a space voyage, if Boris gets shot.

  This reminds me of the time the police got called to an office building because someone saw a man with a rifle in one of the windows. Turns out it was a gaming studio, and the man was a human-size cardboard cutout advertising Battlefield or some similar first person shooter.

    At the hospital where I had my sleep studies done the only available parking was next to a probably five story building. On the second floor down from the top someone had put a mannequin in an EMS vest against their office window and left the lights on.

    Whoever that person was should feel accomplished, as it successfully startled me every time I had to walk across that parking lot alone at 10pm.

  Was it Terry Pratchett or Douglas Addams that had a witch that was going to be burned at the stake? She had a little future-sight abd went to her death willingly and with dignity. And with 50pounds of roofing nails in a barrel of gunpowder under her dress.

    If I had a Boris, I’d be dead before they got a chance to shoot Boris. At which point Boris will have done his job.

    How big is that foyer? Is the walk behind Boris a steel wall per chance ?

      Better include a steel roof, because the structural integrity of the ceiling ain’t looking great once the dust clears.

      Yeah, most rifle calibers are needed to set off tannerite. Should’ve mentioned that in my original comment, but oh well lol.

    So is executing unarmed people in the street but that seems to be where the calvinball game is at.

      Yeah, but you don’t wanna do the illegal thing AT YOUR HOUSE.

      Set it up in a bush near the police station or something.

  • redsand@infosec.pub ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Probably in most jurisdictions but maybe not if you shoot it yourself. Then it goes from being a trap to a remote controlled weapon.

  • ameancow@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Extremely, there are explicit laws against booby trapping your own property and you can face full prosecution even if it harms only burglars.

    source

    • PhoenixDog@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If Boris is being shot and explodes, the likelihood of the home owner already being killed by ICE or other agents is pretty high.

      Gotta ask though, if it needs to be shot to go off, is that really a booby trap? I have draino in my house, that isn’t a trap. Maybe you have to put a sign on it saying don’t shoot?

  I’m worried Boris won’t go off. He’s most likely to be shot with a handgun which won’t set off the tannerite.

    You can also put the explosif in a steel trapezoid with the wide part open towards the front. Basically a claymore, but you’d have to manually set it off.

  • chiliedogg@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    There’s a mix that’s designed to work with rim fire and other lower-velocity stuff. It’s not as powe4ful, but is more-easily triggered.

    A dumb friend put some in a chewing tobacco tin and launch it from a skeet launcher to shoot with a shotgun using bird shot. I personally would not be that close to anything I was blowing up, even with a plastic shell.

    source

    • EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      A plastic shell could be even worse, too. Using plastic and glass for shrapnel (I think ceramic as well?) is considered a war crime because they don’t show up on x-rays, which makes it very hard to find - practically impossible in the case of small glass shards.

  Same energy as “claymore in the snow room aimed at the outside door”. It can only do one thing and it will statistically do it to the person spending the most time around it, not any imagined opposition.

  source

  • halfsalesman@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    If I am not mistaken, you have to shoot tannerite to cause it to go off. So unless the owner in this case is shooting guns in their house it seems pretty likely this wont go off and harm them, but someone who’s likely to shoot an armed civilian for not putting their gun down.

    source

    • bizarroland@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That’s the joke.not

      ICE is shooting unarmed civilians, so seeing Boris here would make their nuts shrivel like a booger on an Arizona Tarmac in the middle of summer, and the only way for them to regain their illusion of masculinity will be to shoot him, too.

      While tannerite does need that extreme concussion to go off, it is still more likely to hurt the person who set it up as this seems like a stand off tactic.

      Unless you have to enter the house to see Boris. They are gonna shoot from a distance.

  I would be concerned about Boris wrecking a perfectly good foyer. Maybe put at the end of your street, leaning on a tree, just make sure the neighbors know what he is, but not who put him there.
