Or a pellet gun

Why would you train a hawk to attack pellet guns?

1.8k

u/Emergency-State 11h ago

No, the hawk will use the pellet gun

u/BatmanLovesBoobies 11h ago edited 7h ago

I hope the pellet gun knows this beforehand and doesn't catch feelings only to be hurt later on.

u/Pigeonsass 11h ago

Train the hawk to cherish and support the hopes and dreams of the pellet gun

u/sam_wise_ganji 10h ago

You can't train love

191

u/Swagalyst 10h ago

But you can love trains.

133

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord 10h ago

And you can love to train your guns.

Would you run a train on the gun you love?

Lmao ty for saying this —- this whole thread has been autism-coded (complimentary)

u/TactlessTortoise 7h ago

Instructions unclear. I now have an autistic hawk shooting up the neighbourhood

The beatings will continue until love improves

u/mmccxi 3h ago

beatings will improve until pellet gun weilding trian-hawks support the hopes and dreams of camera masturbaters.

u/SortovaGoldfish 2h ago

I think as long as the pellet gun consents, love isn't really a necessity.

u/EvilAlienCzar 10h ago

“e hurt” I didn’t realize hawks participated in online dating

u/jepcasey 10h ago

The goal of cyberbullying is to e-hurt someone

u/r3ddit3ric 11h ago

The hawk is there to do a job, not to find romance.

The pellet knows where it is because it knows where it isn't

You ever milked a hawk Greg?

u/Stever72 8h ago

Only Tony Hawk he has nipples too

u/stone_henge 8h ago

No, you'll load the pellet gun with hawks.

14

u/CaptainFleshBeard 11h ago

That’s just stupid, how is a hawk going to use a pellet gun when it’s already got knives taped to its talons ?

u/mindovermegan 9h ago

Instructions unclear: I just shot Tony Hawk with a pellet gun.

Hawk With A Gun

u/JoyousMadhat 8h ago

No no. The pellet gun will use hawk

u/Lost_Found84 7h ago

This is like the time I trained a carrier pigeon to text. Saves a ton of time.

u/Eziopool 7h ago

This is the most American thing I have heard in this month.

u/KalatasXValatos 5h ago

We need hawks with fricking lasers on their fricking heads.

2

u/Quaid28 5h ago

Ahh makes sense

2

u/CyberneticPanda 3h ago

The pellet gun will use the hawk. It's the Daisy Falconer model.

u/NashKetchum777 1h ago

I've heard of aerial attack drones... but we're mixing the modern world with the primitive with this

It could grip it by the husk!

You guys are so narrowminded. He's going to train a pellet gun to attack cameras

u/Beetroot_Roosevelt 8h ago

Someone smarter than me means to do the reddit switcharoo thing 

11

u/Jonas_Venture_Sr 11h ago

You misunderstood, they have to train the camera to use the pellet gun to shoot the hawk.

2

u/Suspicious-Garbage92 6h ago

Pellet gun shoots food pellets so the bird knows where to go

u/Jemenezzz 6h ago

You throw the hawk at the camera and celebrate by firing the gun in the air, Middle East style

138

u/Ratattack1204 11h ago

a sufficiently strong laser would do the trick

84

u/BarBryzze 11h ago

A pet hawk with a pellet gun is much cooler though.

39

u/tommybot 11h ago

Per hawk with a Lazer would also be cool

40

u/KDogg3000 11h ago

Would a shark with Lazers attached be... jumping the shark(with lazers attached)?? 🤔

3

u/other_view12 4h ago

Probably, but how do you know if it was effective? The pellet gun lets me know the job is done.

I like the idea of the laser, but I want the certainty that it worked.

1

u/SolomonGrumpy 4h ago

So would a bazooka

119

u/IVII0 10h ago

I’d simply install a heat generating laser and point it directly on the camera.

A Class 4 laser focused directly into the lens will rapidly overheat, melt, or short-circuit the sensitive CMOS or CCD image sensor. Standard consumer laser pointers usually lack the power to do this quickly and require keeping the beam perfectly still for long periods.

If the neighbor has „harmless electronic device in his own home”, the OP can have one too.

u/Ittybittyratgirl 9h ago

I just love how amazing of a statement “I’d simply install a heat generating laser”is 😂 Takes me back to old school yugioh

“My ocean is covering my fish so you can’t attack them but they can attack you”

“Oh yeah? Well I attack the moon to lower the tides and expose your fish”

u/scorchedbeanz 9h ago

Then I activate POT OF GREED

u/Ittybittyratgirl 9h ago

What?! That card lets you draw two new cards from your deck!

u/DeepLock8808 8h ago

And my deck has no bad cards!

"that's not how that works"

"Yeah huh"

u/ThyArtIsMeh 2h ago

"That is what it do Yugi"

u/ClubMeSoftly 3h ago

Early Yugioh wasn't about the card games, early Yugioh was just about who could out-bullshit the other player.

"I attack the moon and expose your fish monsters!"
"I use Catapult Turtle to launch my Dragon Champion at your Floating Castle to make it crash down on all your monsters!"
"You can't attack my monsters because they're all cartoons, and cartoons don't really die!"
"I duplicate my Kuriboh a thousand times and all of them will explode the eyes of your monster making it unable to see me and therefore it can't attack me!"
"I fuse my skeleton warrior to your dragon so it zombifies and is slowly dying!"

u/Kalspiewak 7h ago

I said an Air-rifle, but this is infinitely cooler

1

u/Cabana_bananza 4h ago

Class 4 laser

Considering the camera just sits there you could just use a low powered one over time? A 5 mW one could do the same damage and probably be cheaper and safer.

1

u/SolomonGrumpy 4h ago

Phased plasma rifle..40 watt range.

u/Icy_Chemist_1725 1h ago

And then they check the camera history and see a light shine from your patio at the lens and they report it to police if you're lucky. If you are unlucky they are actually a terrible person and they retaliate or escalate against you.

If you really believe someone is secretly recording you for nefarious reasons I don't recommend escalating with an illegal action that can be reported to police to get you in trouble. They are not breaking any laws here. Destroying their property is against the law.

If you called the police about this, they would tell you to install curtains for privacy and that the windows are visible from a public space. You don't get an expectation of privacy through clear glass. If you built your house out of glass, you would get laughed at if you call the police to report that people can see inside your home.

u/eeveeplays50040 9h ago

Don't forget to also get an rocket propelled grenade launcher!

u/Striking-Teach7489 9h ago

Mildly infuriating

u/Exterminator-8008135 9h ago

This, easy to get and aiming ain't too hard after training a bit.

If, i, who never shot guns, and only uses them at fun fair ballon target stand is good with this, so can you.

13

u/Potential-Yoghurt245 10h ago

Use a laser pointer to faze the camera

3

u/--slurpy-- 10h ago

Do them strong lasers work?

1

u/PowerfulDisaster2067 10h ago

What about a Glock 18c with a drum mag?

1

u/Restart_from_Zero 8h ago

Or a laser pointer.

1

u/VeryluckyorNot 8h ago

Or a paint ball gun and shoot multiple layers of paints , if he buy a ,new repeats. If he threat to court defend yourself against voyeurism.

1

u/shuaaaa 8h ago

Do NOT use a pellet gun, trust me on this

1

u/why_me15 7h ago

Or pvp boss

1

u/GallowBarb PURPLE 7h ago

Paintball gun.

1

u/Sanepsycho420 6h ago

Exactly what I was thinking but since it's aimed right at their window ask a neighbor out of view of that camera to snipe it from so it doesn't catch you on camera and plausible deniability

1

u/Kaffeetrinker49 5h ago

This is vandalism

1

u/crack-nutter 5h ago

Or a green laser

u/Opposite_Laugh2803 4h ago

Target practice

u/StrigiStockBacking 3h ago

Used to do this growing up in the 70s. Had a high-powered pellet gun, my dad put a scope on it and sighted it in for me. He didn't know how I was using it, but my friend had a super bright street light that was keeping him up, even if the curtains were drawn, so one day I took it over there and we set it up a bipod, and shot the light out. Took the city a few weeks to come out and replace the bulb, and every time they did, we'd snipe it again. Because it was a pellet gun, it just made a somewhat loud "thunk" when it fired, so nobody even heard it.

1

u/Alarming-Stretch-788 3h ago

Aka vandalism

1

u/a_weak_child 2h ago

Or one of the lasers that fries the camera.

He meant a pet pellet gun, duh

u/IsabellaGalavant 35m ago

My first thought, time for a BB gun. "Oops sorry, target practice, my aim is bad!"
