Ballistics discussion.. How to stop 30-06

I take it your buildings routinely have some yahoo shoot them?

You should see the "STOP" sign at the head of my road some time. The small phone switching substation reflects the same sort of abuse by redneck drive bys.

The number of our buildings that get shot are far fewer than those customers that want to be prepared for such things. The telephone repeater huts and cell phone tower buildings are generally filled with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of revenue generating equipment. (How much is your cell bill times a few thousand customers?)

A bit of peace of mind goes a long ways. I am just trying to give my clients some options.

Speaking of things to shoot, years ago when I was a technician we laughed about a site that was always getting shot up. The solution was a bit different than the ones mentioned here. The phone company erected a 6' round steel circle with a bullseye painted on it 100' from the shelter.... It seemed to draw enough fire from the shelter that they could live with it until the site was decommissioned.

It should be rediculously easy to make a 2D sound detector to move a camera to film the incident. Not like the 3D ones that do distance just one that does direction. I had something used for tracking the sun, might work if it can be made faster.

Now that's the kind of "outside of the box" thinking I like.
