    The other night, while I was walking the dog, some wankers were chucking firecrackers out the sides of a car for some unknowable reason and they tossed one onto the pavement right in front of me.

    All I could think to do at the time was punt it as far as possible to try and minimise the shock the dog would feel from the noise. But I’m still a bit pissed off about it.

    Half tempted to grab some mates and give these dickheads a good ol’ vehicular broadsidering.

      That’s messed up. Quick thinking kicking it away.

      Be mindful that the diagram shows a crew operating out of an old car with bench seats, I’m not sure you could have two shooters in most modern cars.

      Also the method suggested is for property damage. You could target dickheads but they would witness you, which might be a concern if that vehicle visits you regularly. Mask up there’s covid out.

    Missiles must be small, dense and relatively round ©. Avoid irregularly shaped objects (d), as they don’t fly true. Small rocks, steel bearings, and large nuts (e) are good. In illustration (f) you can see how one or two slingshotters can hit a target from a passing car. The hand holding the slingshot must not extend outside the vehicle (f). The driver must signal when it is safe, ensuring that the hit cannot be observed by nearby drivers. Avoid using your brake lights or deliberately slowing down and then making a fast getaway. Try a couple of practice sessions on a remote country road first. To a passerby, the hit must be indistinguishable from the actions and movements of a typical passing car.
