Also fun fact - you can make a gun ineffective and safe just by welding shut its barel.

Ineffective, definitely.
Safe for the target, also maybe. Just depends on whether the exploding action and barrel throw shrapnel down range, or if you had a shitty weld. Guy holding it won't have a good day, but could survive. Something something Kentucky ballistics.
Idk man, this plan is sounding pretty credible.
Wait, wrong community....
Read somewhere in an book that sometimes soldiers/aides tried to hurt/kill their officers my minimally reducing their barrel width mechanically when cleaning their pistols for them. Hard to detect and can fuck someone up good.
But while I can see how that would work in theory I don't see how this could be done without someone noticing it and with the tools at their disposal.
When Kilauea was making news for erupting, I showed my (now ex) partner a photo of the lava flow over the road with hazard barriers to keep people away.
Her response was to ask why they didn't just divert the flow away from where people are.
They actually do that with earth barriers sometimes, e.g. at the Aetna.
But there is only so much these barrier can do...
I mean yeah, why instead of writing "people stay away" don't they just put "lava stay away"?
Just pump out the magma til it's empty and use it to heat homes. Win win
I mean we've tried plugging a nuclear bomb in a hole with concrete and that went about as well as you'd expect so...
