Traffic Woes

No doubt that my little paint-ball device would fall
into the same category as potato-guns and what not -
vigilante style justice, as in the spirit of the
Apache attack chopper post :)

Otherwise it would have to be restricted to
law-enforcement.  I'm not serious about the idea, but
I do think it would be a good additional tool for cops
to have in the event of a bad situation.  Part of the
kit, like road spikes, only my way is safer and more
fun.  They get to shoot something!!  Now I'm
envisioning a turret mount on the roof or hood or
front bumper with a HUD in the cockpit for the driver
to aim and shoot.  Once they hit the perp's car they
can back off the chase and let it wind down (much
safer than continuing the chase)
A lot cheaper than a helicoptor too.

OOPS I just realized there has been no Audi content in
my rambling.  Sorry guys.  The intention all along has
been to mount this "gun" onto the front of my A4
and/or my 4kq.  Right next to my LIDAR and FLIR and
miscelaneous ECM.
