Shot-Spotter?

ShotSpotter, a private company whose system is being used by more than two dozen police departments around the country, employs GPS and an acoustic locating system to triangulate and find where shots have been fired from.
I wonder what would happen if someone took a thick-walled copper tube, crimped it shut at one end, dropped down a lit firecracker and quickly plugged the open end with some clay.

Bet they'd drive the cops crazy.

Nothing would happen.-

Most acoustic shooter detection devices analyse the sonic boom of bullets, not simple cracks.

So a old kids carbide cannon will not work.

How about subsonic ammo?

I suspect the cop version is a tweaked version of the MIL version. Then again it did find the dummy in Nassau county with the AK.

Eck!

They'd get arrested and/or shot as terrorists. You know that by now. Welcome to the Future of America!

Sven, I had the same thought as Eck, that the shot-spotter wouldn't work against a .25, .32, .38 or a .45. So I imagine that the ones that the cops use would have to detect lower-velocity shots.

In which case, spoofing it might work...
