    You might be underestimating how much damage a .22 round to can do to something, especially when that something is probably at least like 60% lithium ion battery by volume. Yeah, .22s are small by bullet standards and have low stopping power, but they’re still lethal.

    That said, if you’ve got a 308 handy, that’ll work reliably too. You won’t be silencing it, but feel free to blow a hole clean through one of these machines and enjoy the fireworks when its battery lights off.

      One .22 round to the battery pack will fuck this thing up good. Lithium batteries do not like being punctured and shorted out at the same time.

      Worst case scenario, you’ve suddenly decreased the battery’s output enough to force the thing into shutdown. Best case scenario, the punctured battery cells go into thermal runaway and start a fire that consumes the whole thing.
