Alarm Mines!!!

Now we just need to find a humane and animal friendly (and scroat unfriendly) way of combining the two ideas and making a rotty launcher.....

Without a chamber to focus the charge it'd actually be quieter than the black powder blank. The shot wouldn't go very far and at very reduced velocity.

I have a couple of these and with black powder blanks designed for sailing starting cannons they'll make your ears bleed. Not lethal and quite legal.

Those ebay folk are selling the blanks through the mail, that's no longer legal and they might get hassles for it.

My thinking was that if was mounted at head height near an door the "alarm" could go off very close to peoples heads, I know nothing about firearms but I pretty sure that a shotgun cartridge blank of not discharged within half a meter is going to hurt someone.

its a bloody good detterent tho init!
