A home made version of this ?

A better option is a perfect corner reflector - it returns 100% of signal + strength directly back at the source but 180% out of phase.

Aligned in to a radar source, nulls the read out to 0 - thus you should be able to drive as fast as you want (all be it STRAIGHT AT the radar) and they would see you moving a 0 miles per hour.

Sorry.. I couldn't resist.. 

Although a joke, there is a spot of I-5 near Fresno that is "patrolled" by AH-1s.  Harris Ranch is a cattle farm, resteraunt, and airport right next to the freeway that regularly has local ANG Snake drivers on the ramp for lunch.  CHP Air Support usually stops too, but they're "just" using an A-Star. 

BTW at Harris Ranch you're steak moo-ed less than a day before.  DAMN good food.

Around the mid 80s I read came across 3 developments that led me to and evil idea.

One was a rocket that a hobbyist could build that could be controlled with simple RC servos for elevator and rudder.

The second was a RADAR sensor that would output voltages in a X,Y coordinate system that would allow the sensor to control movement of motors so it would point at the RADAR device.

The third was the output jack of my Valentine 1 Radar detector.  It was used to power a larger external speaker.

So, put them all together and you have a rocket with the RC Servos controlled by the RADAR sensor's outputs and it's rocket engine started by a signal from the speaker output jack on my radar detector.  Fill the rocket with some home made explosives and mount the rocket on a sky rack on the roof of the car.

The image I get is toping a hill on the interstate at 100mph, my radar detector beeping like crazy and a woosh as the rocket takes off and zeros in on the Highway Patrol car hiding in the bushes on the left side of the road.

If you could build one of these to take out tailgaters, I'll take two, but it needs to be mounted low with shielding for the tank when it launches.. You could tie it to a short, wide monitor across the bottom of the rear glass that reads "If you can read this, you're too close" with a countdown from 9 underneath..

I had an idea about that also.  

I read somewhere about it being possible to adapt a Remington 1100 to be belt fed.  There wasn't enough detail for me to know if it would work, but it seemed unlikely to me.  

However that didn't stop me from thinking the hot setup would be to have three mounted low in your trunk and firing out somewhere near bumper level, angled up just a bit.

A 3 round burst should be enough to discourage most tailgaters.

Flipping channels the other day, Sons of Guns built something very similar.  It was an armored Porche Cayenne SUV with a pair of M16s in a roof rack, a suppressed one in the license plate and two "claymore" devices in the trunk lid.  All were controlled from the cab and the guns were CCTV sighted.  The anti-personnel devices blew 3K BBs, but blew out the back window.  Considering teh armor plate was in the passenger compartment, not the cargo area, and they would be used to get away from a big threat I'd call it successful.  A LOT over teh top for average Joe but still a good excersize.

Not that I could do the work myself, but that Porsche sported some pretty shoddy finish work in the back, the way I saw it.. I was really surprised about that.. Also, what do the passengers do when the pursuer gets in the blind side off the left rear quarterpanel? I was unimpressed.. It looked like a (B) movie job...

It simply will not work without a Pugnewton Isolator. Keep me posted on progress I keep two around.....

I watched that episode and remembered that shotgun idea 

I think I'll hold off on installing claymore launchers till someone figures out how to belt feed them
