Pop-Its

[theconfusedone]

I just thought of an idea. You know those little pop its things? They are pea-sized explosives wrapped in paper that is twisted at the top. When you throw them on the ground they make a sound very similar to a large twig snapping. I was thinking that these could be used as a distraction on ops. If there was a guard or civilian that wouldnt move, you could just lob one far away and they would go investigate. Also, they may be able to be used on dogs. I threw a couple of them today, and my dog was deathly afraid of them

What are youre thoughts?

Worthless

Rocks are better: they are everywhere, inconspicuous, and -in my opinion- make a more natural sound when they land. They are also free...

In addition, those things are somewhat unreliable. Since they don't weigh much it's hard to throw them a significant distance away, and there's no guarantee that they'll actually pop even on a hard surface. If they land on a soft surface you just wasted one. They would also need to be kept in a special carrying case because what if you landed on them or squeezed them during a roll? You're also leaving behind evidence - at the very least that someone was actually there.

I must second the use of simple gravel because the noise can be just as loud or even louder (hit a metal roof) on a hard surface, they can be tossed farther and with less effort, they don't require special carrying equipment, are free, and they're not out of place no matter where they land. They also double as ammunition if you're carrying a slingshot or have any form of throwing device at all - even your belt.
