Anti-Robot/Anti-Drone AMMO?? - TGC Podcast

Published on July 4, 2023
Duration: 56:34

This guide outlines the setup and operation of pneumatic delivery systems for Roborounds specialized ammunition. It covers preparing the marker, loading various ammunition types, and firing procedures. The information is presented with a focus on tactical application and technical understanding, drawing from the expertise of Barton Bolfrass, a former Navy EOD diver and defense contractor.

Quick Summary

Roborounds are specialized ammunition targeting robots and drones, not biological entities. They employ mechanisms like tin powder to bridge circuits ('robotic Parkinson's'), gallium to weaken aluminum structures via amalgamation, and ball chains in 'Tangler' rounds to disable drone rotors. Delivery is typically via pneumatic markers like paintball guns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of Roborounds ammunition?

Roborounds are specialized ammunition designed to disrupt and disable robotic and drone systems. They utilize mechanisms like powdered metals to bridge circuits, cause structural compromise through amalgamation, or entangle rotors, rather than targeting biological organisms.

How are Roborounds delivered to their targets?

Roborounds are typically delivered using pneumatic markers, such as paintball guns (like the Valken SMG or Empire/Dye markers) and Pepperball pistols. These systems use CO2 or compressed air to propel the specialized rounds effectively.

What are some unique types of Roborounds mentioned?

The discussion highlights Gallium-filled rounds that weaken aluminum structures, 'Tangler' rounds with ball chains to disable drone rotors, 'Jammer' rounds to disrupt radar and LiDAR, and 'Slipper' rounds to create hazardous walking surfaces.

Who is Barton Bolfrass and what is his expertise?

Barton Bolfrass is a key figure from Roborounds. His expertise is highlighted by his background as a former Navy EOD diver, former Navy dolphin trainer, defense contractor, and patent holder for metal powder deposition rounds, indicating deep knowledge in ordnance and defense technology.
