Easy... each bullet would have some kind of special scent so when it hits the bad guy this scent takes all around him... so police could use trained dogs sensitive to this thing.
Also these bullets could be inoffensive when hitting people, like paint bullets, so police could use them against anybody without having to wait for agresive fire.
These bullets would be great for finding those bad guys when they hide in the woods... or in complex places.-- NickHunter, Jun 20 2003 Half Baked http://www.halfbake.../idea/Skunk_20BallsI think you'll find, although my version was strong enough not to require tracking dogs. [DrCurry, Oct 17 2004] Doesn't it defeat the purpose to fire, have the bullet hit the target, and then heve to go and SEARCH for the perp?-- senatorjam, Jun 21 2003 Honorable [senator],
It has come to my attention that many professional crooks are wearing body armour to keep bullets fired by police from becoming life-threatening injuries.-- Cedar Park, Jun 21 2003 44 minutes of Larry Phillips, Jr., and Emil Matasareanu shooting 1200 rounds at 200 police, even while being hit 11 and 29 times respectively, is proof of that. I saw the entire incredible shootout on live TV.-- thumbwax, Jun 21 2003 in WWII there was similiar technique used. German sheperd pheremones(female) were sprayed on a person who was to be followed, and the male dog could follow him around a city for days. horny bastard-- whatastrangeperson, Nov 23 2003 random, halfbakery
