Project Penny

If the government used pennies instead of bombs they would save a lot of money and when the war is over the enemy would have thousands of dollars in bombs and ammunition. Although one penny only weighs one tenth of an ounce, grab ten dollars and put it in a change machine and you have 6 ¼ pounds. which is probably enough to kill 1 or 2 people. And even if it isn’t practical, still I can guarantee you can save a ton of money just by using pennies as ammo!

Well about the bombs: All it would take is some weakfish tape, well strong enough to hold until it hits the victims head or something. If they want to do some real damage a one foot square (worth $491.52) that weighs 307.2 pounds, plenty enough to do plenty of damage such as putting a hole in a roof or destroying a makeshift hideout or possibly even drop on a bomb storage place and then KABOOM!!!

They could have air powered tanks, which would fire: YOU guessed IT! Pennies. Air isn’t hard to obtain. Lets make a shopping list for just air powered cannon that shoots pennies and compare it to that of a tank. Air compressor: most expensive one I could find is just over 500 dollars, tubing: a couple bucks and a pipe:10 dollars. That’s a grand total: 520 dollars or less.

Tank: 56 million. Basic. Add all the stuff and its 120 million. So just have an armored car with an air cannon that fires pennies for a few thousand dollars or a multi million dollar tank??? What seem more practical?

Ammo: would be cheap 12 cents per dozen! You don’t need insanely fast and strong bullets to kill someone just enough to kill them is good. And again when the war is over the enemy would have thousand or millions of dollars to rebuild what was destroyed and then we wouldn’t have to be hated by every country in the world! We all win in this situation. We save money, we have less enemies, and we pay for the rebuilding of the other country to rebuild itself.
