    Looking at what he has, it would be simpler to choose one or two rifle chamberings and go.

    I have no idea what this "tool" is about. I do know some modern autos have foam (or some kind of flat fixer) instead of a spare tire. KIA does this with some vehicles, others it does not. Saves space in the trunk, for sure. You could probably get a small Mexican in the boot with the flat fixer.

    Gene, think the other direction: jab it into the tire for a quick deflate.

    Why would one need to deflate a tire? Tactically, that is.

    Maybe you're infiltrating a target's garage and want to make sure they don't drive away? The tactical method is without a shot being fired.

    Too easy. Show me an attachment that vents gas off the gas block into the tire. Let me fix a flat with a few mags...

    We filled all the mower tires for the City Parks dept.. the union grieved it.

    Has anyone else ever tried deflating a tire by puncturing the sidewall? They're L- - -O- - - -U- - - -D! The pressure escapes all at once, and rips the sidewall. I've been in several situations where damaged tire/wheel assemblies had to be deflated before doing a wreck recovery because of the danger of a wheel explosion, some of them on big rigs with 120 PSI in the tires. The oldtimer wrecker operator who trained me in big rig recovery used a 1911 with 230 grain FMJ's to handle damaged-wheel situations! Getting close enough to a wheel with a big bend in it to remove the valve core just wasn't an option. The first time he did it with a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer on scene, the guy just about filled his pants!

    Maybe one does not have time to deploy his spike strips and has to improvise with the tactical tire deflator.



    Wouldn't that make for some interesting video.
