Hey look, a sale on chainsaws. This has no relevance to the topic being discussed above.
One of those spray-can extension poles would probably work pretty well without drawing much attention, especially if wearing a hi-vis vest and hardhat along with maybe a rubber mask so they can't identify you. Buy a used cheap bicycle somewhere, spray all the cameras you can, then leave the bike on a street somewhere and walk to a secluded place without cameras to change clothing, and be picked up by a friend in a car maybe. Quite doable with enough planning.
And don't bring your phone
12 gauge might be quicker and easier.
There's at least a half dozen better calibers for the job but no firearm is a good answer due to the potential of killing someone on the other side of the camera.
Just how bad of a shot can you be that you conclude no firearm is the answer? Plenty of calibers that doesnt over penetrate the equipment itself. Plenty of calibers with a small enough MOA to accurately hit the lens.
Agree completely, I was thinking birdshot, not something for deer.
The reason I mentioned a type of shot gun, is that the distance it remains lethal is short, and if you’re shooting up towards something, it wouldn’t come down lethal like a pistol or rifle round, which could be dangerous for as long as it maintains a ballistic trajectory. But yes, not a wise thing to attempt in all seriousness.
Your self-assessment of your knowledge of firearm safety is a danger to society at large.
And much louder. People accidentally back into poles all the time on accident though.
I used to have a hush power 410, hand clap level of sound
O.o I've never heard of that!
Anything made of metal would fuck a chainsaw up. Use a rotary cutter or a sawzaw with a blade made for cutting metal
