If there's a really big magnet on the battlefield, all the enemy's bullets would stick to it as soon as they were fired. This would save millions of lives - unless, of course, the enemy countered with their own, bigger, magnet.

Bullets are usually made out of lead which is non-ferrous so it wouldn't work. Sorry g0m. :smith:

New idea: a gigantic bullet-proof shield that all the soldiers can hide behind. But here's the thing - the shield is made of one-way glass, so they can see where the enemy soldiers are and shoot at them through gun holes, but the enemy soldiers can only see a really big mirror

Not sure this would work tbqh - an enemy bomber could just fly even higher and drop a bomb on the first bomber.

Idea: invent special glasses that let troops see bad guys in the dark when the bad guys can't see them.

Idea: invent a gun that can shoot over things bad guys hide behind.

Idea: invent a weapon that can flood an ant hill full of bad guys and drown them in fire.

I don't think this could really work long-term. The solution is obviously to hide behind a taller object than the gun can see over, and there's an upper limit to how tall a gun can be

Edit: Of course, this isn't TFR. Apologies for the derail.

By "against enemies who's weapons cannot reach their altitudes" I mean lovely countries who can't even field a kite with a grenade tied to it

Idea: Invent a gun that shoots explosions, but instead of pulling the trigger with your finger, the enemy pulls the trigger by stepping/driving on it. Bury them in roads and trails. Watch from a safe distance.

Maybe also shout something that makes you feel good when it works, I don't know, still working this part out. Maybe, "THIS IS GREAT!" or "THANKS, GOD!". Feel free to offer suggestions.

Idea: Only make enemies with poor people. Pay them to not fight.

Idea: If the enemy is restricting your ability to drive in your own country, use pouty lips and puppy dog eyes until they relent.
Pack cars with explosives, convince idiots to drive them into the enemy.

Idea: Invent a shower head that shoots poisonous gas instead of water. Make enemies with dirty people.

Idea: Invent an oven that cooks people. Make enemies with hungry people.

Idea: Make enemies with people who read books. They are bad at fighting.

We should just cut the military budget until goatherders pose a clear and present danger, then we send in Jack Ryan to use a rare blend of class, kick-assedness, and common sense to sort it all out.

Okay, I've got it: small bullet-sized electromagnets that have lots of little bits of magnetized metal stuck onto them, held in place by the magnet. Immediately after the round impacts, reverse the polarity of the electromagnet and send fuckloads of shrapnel out into the target.

Is that genius, or what?
