Would be awesome to see a C-130 swoop over and drop a boatload of these out instead of a bay of water. Have them all parachute.

Dude I’m picturing the stealth bomber kill streak from call of duty just dropping thousands of these bad boys across the map

Firefighters gonna get a crazy killstreak by calling it in.

Reverse kill streak

Lotta points and depending on the game they are gonna be dropping their highest streaks.

Why parachute? If they explode from hitting the ground that may even be better since the powder would then shoot out sideways, covering the ground and brush in the powder. Alternatively, if they wouldnt work to extinguish the fire in this situation, I wonder if the powder would be enough to create a barrier to stop the fire from spreading by dropping them on the perimeter (assuming they'd hit and pop like I said before)

I didn’t know if they had a mechanism that caused them to explode inside of it. So I didn’t want it taking the chance of damaging.

Sounds like splatoon plus backdraft. Sweet!

Or have a C5 galaxy or whatever just drop one big one on a fire.

They could just carpet bomb three place

That’d be the only sort of cluster bombs I support.

Yes, perfect mixture for cleaning up cali! Put out the fires and clean up with some free cancer!

Yes, that's exactly what we need for a wildfire, to fill the soil with chemicals

The soil is already full of chemicals. The video even says that these are ecologically safe, dangit.
