So, /k/, I've got an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well, or if it will, work. This idea came to me in a recent fit of /k/tism while taking a lovely stroll through the neighborhood. Would it be possible to make a bending caltrop that would be somewhat sturdy enough for long term use and effective for anti-personnel, anti-animal and anti-vehicular usage?
Let me pitch it to you, if you don't fully understand what I'm trying to convey:
>be random /k/ommando, fighting against your enemies.
>whether it's the Feds trying to take the guns or Jamal and his homies trying to kill crackas like us, they're coming and they're have you cornered in your house, besieging you from all sides
>you're a bit of a tinkerer in your spare time, when you're not massacring innocent little pickaninnies with your AR-15's chainsaw bayonet. Messing around with scrap iron and steel, you make a few crude bending caltrops.
>The way they work, according to your design, is that you take a caltrop, stake it to the ground with the four base spikes, conceal and camouflage as necessary, rinse and repeat.
>Grab your baby-killers, ammo, and the Carl Gustav your wonderfully crazy uncle left you when he died.
>enemy arrives, but meets its first problems when one of the cars gets its tire punctured by the caltrop.
>cautiously getting out to investigate, Jamal's brotha Tyrone steps on the caltrop. Now here's the juicy bit: the natural human reaction to stepping on something sharp is to pull up and/or away. So the caltrop is supposed to be able to bend with the foot as it moves. So basically, Tyrone's foot is fucked, and he's easily put out of action. Same thing if we were dealing with Officer Botzog.
>Since your entire yard within a twenty-meter radius is covered in these caltrops, your enemies can't come near your house without risking their feet and forfeiting their lives.
If iron or steel don't have the necessary properties for such bending, then I apologize; I'm no metallurgist. I just want my autism to see if my autism could have some practical use for self-defense.
