Hmm,sounds like a nice idea. I like the idea with thermobarics and smokes detonating on the vehicle. With a firework usage license at bellurgan I guess I could pitch a similar idea to the guys. Along with what we already have, the sensor triggering an alarm on the car,maybe rig up a lighter to get some smokes off and some thermobarics strapped to the sides of the vehicle. Main issues would of course,be money and sourcing the fireworks,and how the hell to light grenades via a lighter and electronic signal,I've yet to gut an electronic lighter so I'll still need to research on that.
I was on the rear patrol when the vehicle blew up and I swear everyone soiled themselves when it happened. There was a brief moment of panic followed by everyone running towards the vehicle which was on the other side of the field. That really got the adrenaline pumping and the firefight that ensued after was excellent with the rebels hiding in concealed positions, but we still fought our way to the vehicle and managed to get the guys out.
you can get remote detonators and also the electric fuse ignitor to allow the use of fireworks and other items that can't be directly activated by the det.
That's true, but all they are is a piece of steel wire bent into a 'u' shape with a blob of match-head mixture dabbed into the crook of the bend and allowed to dry, so you can totally make your own just as effectively. I wouldn't bother, but the price of some of this gear is out of order!
