Air Horns / Train Horns

[Xamu]

On my first car, and at my apprenticeship i did make a few 100 tire spikes, that could be deployed from a box under the car, but i never finalized that project.
Actually as a kid on my Chopper bike, well the back rest on the seat, i put a small box there with a spring loaded lid, filled with thumb pins so i just had to pull a string to open the lid.
And as proven in this years tour de France too, those little buggers work fine on bicycles.

Caltrops I think they are called.

Yes always land with a pointy side up.
Some robbers here years ago use those and burning trucks in coloration with a big heist on a money company, dam punks ran with a ton of money back then.

I preferred Roger Moore as Bond, I liked the humour. My second favourite was Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig's interpretation did nothing for me.

Regarding air horns, a friend had a quad set fitted to his Accord. During the routine annual UK MOT, one mechanic was under the bonnet when his colleague tested whether the horn worked. Yes it did and the other one jumped up and banged his head on the bonnet/hood.

On that car you might as well go for the whole package with the drop grenades and the mini guns!

I think that was the point, especially back in the days of the Sean Connery films.

Your mini guns obviously weren't designed to be dangerous, they got a lot of use, but rarely did any damage, even with all the added autonomous tracking technology in the later films.

The oil slick dispenser was always instantly deadly, so dangerous that it got banned, and doesn't appear in any of the later films.
Maybe too easy for people like Kamkar to effectively replicate, it doesn't need much technology

The fish as he drove up the beach in the Lotus? Maybe the best car yet - they should try alternative brands more often!

"My mini guns"?

"weren't designed to be dangerous"?

"Got banned"?

Are you sure the filmmakers didn't simply decide to move beyond a 59 year old movie prop just the way they updated the original DB5's Browning .30 calibre machine guns first seen Goldfinger to a M134 mini gun in No Time To Die? In the course of nearly 60 years and 25 films 007 has driven 5 Bentleys, 9 different Aston Martin models, 2 Lotuses and 5 different BMWs, all with a different array of weapons and gadgetry including tire shredders, mines, oil sprayers, water cannons and surface to air missiles.

This is quite an analysis, Nigel. Do you really take these movie props and gadget effects this seriously?

You seem to be missing the point of this kind of entertainment.

The M134 are just 7.62 mm / .30 caliber, so will not do a whole lot of damage to many military vehicles, but any civillian car would be chewed up in seconds i think even if all shots go strait into the engine block.

I can not remember the name of the gun, but there is a .22 gun that fire so fast its almost a string of lead that come out of it, it chew strait thru a bullet proof vest rated for stopping .44 shot just fine. and .22 is 5.5 mm where .44 is 11 mm

98 Snake eater have air horns on his car, and sprayer. https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/a-bunch-of-my-own-dash-cam-videos.35628/

I like to have air horns too, but they do take up a lot of room

Depends on the vehicle, but you'd be surprised how well a large horn can be hidden.

Here's the setup on my daily beater (2016 Sienna)

Nathan Airchime K3HA Horns (individual manifolds)
200psi Air Compressor
2 Gallon Slimline Air Tank
1 Gallon Slimline Air Tank
1 Gallon Slimline Air Tank

Horns are hidden within the bumper cover, compressor mounted behind the grill for ample cooling and the tanks are tucked well above the exhaust line.

I've always felt that rear facing flame throwers would be a fantastic deterrent for tailgaters, just a very short pull on the trigger would get them to back way off. Also would have the added benefit of great visuals.

Been installing these things on my cars (and customer cars) since high school lol

 

[98 SNAKE EATER]

I want grenade launchers built into my front and rear bumpers!

How bout Nerf Darts?

 

[kamkar]

Well with that fire breathing car, any would be car jacker, would be ill advised to approach from the rear.
I do wonder what happened to the below the door fire breathers that came out in South Africa to deter car jackers down there back in the day.

I shot these on Friday, though even if i am peashooting, well lets just say the amount of foot pound energy is not something i will have aimed at my wrinkly old ass. ( if i ramp it 50 FP )

I am thinking train horn, with heavy duty diaphragm, and then hit it with all of the 300 BAR in my dive tank i normally use to fill the air rifle.

They'll get blown out

Here's an old set with just 80psi

Yeah i figured, at least if it was anything normal, Of course something more rigid and you would probably end up with a very high pitch whine.
But maybe you can get the attention of every dog in the county and all the surrounding counties.

The day all dogs stoppeed dead in their track and just looked confused around.

Did some testing with some cheap (yet very loud) WalMart horns and removed the trumpets
Got a nice ear piercing squeal lol

 

[kamkar]

That hooked up to the reversing light, no one would ove " look " you reversing then

 

[98 SNAKE EATER]

On my XB

 

[kamkar]

Could you buy up a lot of brass instrument and wire those up for some probably god awful BLAAAP of some lind.
Of course that would necessitate a truck bed, or at least a huge roof rack for all that brass.

A little toot for a BMW earlier this week
