A couple years ago, some fine young engineer/doctor candidates had developed the unfortunate habit of cruising up and down the the otherwise bucolic farm roads hereabouts, playing their ooga-booga rap at extremely high volume in the wee morning hours, while also enjoying recreational pharmaceuticals, thus disturbing the normal peace and quiet that the rural inhabitants had come to enjoy.
Until one night, a person or persons unknown (and still at large) blew out their passenger side and back window glass from the roadside brushline with high velocity stream of marbles.
Stopping the vehicle only resulted in the additional loss of the tail, brake, and backup lights, and multiple large indentations to the trunk and rear fenders.
Being forcibly reminded that "discretion being the better part of valor", they left.
And that was the end of that. Peace and contentment returned.
We had a similar problem growing up. Someone notified everyone in the area to not take the side road for a couple of days. A buried board with nails sticking up was found later on and removed. The problem went away.
And this tells me that you've never had one of the fucking elastics snap on you while at full draw.
Because if it had, you'd make damn sure it never happened again.
Also, I can't help but notice how you conveniently left out the part about how exactly you would do this while driving a vehicle. Really thought this one through, didncha?

Hmm, just got a slingshot with extra tied bands, extra pouches, a way too big roll of band material to cut, plus 9mm clay and metal ammo. Have not yet had a band snap...
Haven't felt any particular need for a slingshot since I turned nine years old and was deemed to be trustworthy enough to carry a rifle on my daily perambulations about the countryside instead.
The OP's original post was concerning events that take clearly place while driving. My response was an attempt to address (or not) that specific set of circumstance.
The attached anecdote concerned the apparent effectiveness of said tactic.
2 points: 1) non-firearm. Can be purchased anonymously. No serial number. Can be easily acquiered and just as easily ditched as necessary. The AK-47 is a firearm and it's purchase is regulated and it's use is a defacto use of deadly force. Even the LE agencies that use pepperball projectors and beanbag rounds for their shotguns classify such devices as "Less-Than-Lethal" force.
2) The "ammo", being spherical, reloading is accomplished by easily pouring from one container into another, such as from a reload container into the feed bin. Another major plus is that the marbles, being glass, don't break under rough handling or firing, as paintballs have been known to do on occasion. Very reliable.
I hate'em. Last night there was heavy traffic on the GD highway because the pos in the passing lane was driving slow. I hate these pos with a serious passion. Then pos doesn't use their blinker when turning off and I could've pulled out but lazy pos can't move their finger one inch to signal. fuckin mouth breathers. Selfish pos mouth breathers
What I see happen all the time when folks use their blinkers to change lanes, are the cars in the lane they want to move into speed up and tighten up to prevent them from moving over. This results in folks not signalling or hitting the blinker at the same time they start to change lanes. Same kind of thing you see when someone is merging onto the highway. Merging car is up to speed to move over, but then everyone speeds up and tightens up to not allow the car to merge in front of them, which ends up fucking over the whole line of cars looking to merge. Jackass drivers create other jackass drivers.
True. Hate that shit too. I have found that if you use your blinker correctly, to show your INTENT before you even start merging, people are much nicer about it. It also depends on where you are also. Ive found that oklahoma city drivers are generally more friendly than dallas drivers, for example. As for me, I have a little rule - no blinker from you, no consideration from me.
I thought I was just getting older but it's driving me nuts too. And it seems like I'm noticing it more. But then again, I'm 'noticing' a lot of things now a days.
Yeah I'm with you on that and it's getting worse. On top of that where I'm at you get these fucks flying through a stop sign off a side street, cut you off where you have to slam on your brakes and then they go slow!! WTF is this type of mentality? If someone cuts me off and I see their back end drop with some black smoke because they're at least trying to accelerate and match my speed, hey, no problem, they made a mistake and are at least trying to match my speed.

Did you know that there are paint ball markers that can shoot in excess of 670fps?

And did you further know that you can fire marbles out of a paintball projector?

Really. 1,000 whole rounds, huh.
That's adorable.
During one of my rifle classes you could expect to go through that in the first two days.
