In 1950s UK every country kid had a catapult in their pocket. Maybe that is what we should do. Give the kids catapults and tell them not to use them on Flock cameras. That is usually effective at making kids so stuff

You mean a slingshot?

(Or a trebuchet?)

Omg is that where the name comes from. In my language it's a "kettie".

I was thinking the same thing, much cheaper than a paintball gun, and less conspicuous.

A well made catapult in the right hands with a good aim is deadly.
