Of course, some of us have neighbours, too... and this is my impression
of what a neighbour would hear:
<faint whirring>
<mumbled shout>Fiyuh inna hoe!
<BLANGKRUNCH against the wall>
<insane giggling>
repeat....
I think that we could design a standard Lego "shell" to fire easily
enough. ABS is a fair bit denser than water, so if we build something
4x4x3.1 or 6x6x5 out of plates, it should be pretty heavy and pretty
dense.
And if you're worried about destroying it, mock one up outta mega
blocks. Or wrap it in neoprene.
