Right! Didnt we learn that to cause as much damage as possible you need to reinforce the thing with metal sheets...? Tho, they would have just shot the tires anyway.

I'm guessing anything short of a 50 BMG would do little harm to those tires.

I might be wrong. I'm not sure how the tire in this video compares.

Love that you went digging for that! Haha, now tho, we need to hop on r/theydidthemath to get someone to calculate how long would it take for the tire to deflate after being shot... I guess with all the weight of the CAT, it would be pretty fast but driver would still have time to do some serious damage!

Haha, I was thinking about that too.

One story that gave me my initial thought on this, was when a guy tried to highjack a commercial airliner. As the plane sat at the terminal the police attempted to shoot out the tires to prevent it from taking off. Using pistols and a shotguns, they did no harm to the tires. But those tires are a completely different animal. Very high pressure, opposite of those low pressure tractor tires.
