    New Orleans anti-vehicle measures

    What im curious about is that if barriers need to be designed differently for EVs, as they tend to be much heavery, have more torque, and different weak spots. The truck used in the new Orleans attack was a F-150 lightning all electric vehicle (welcome to the age of sustainable terrorism).

    as long as the pins that hold the wheels in place have been removed the barrier should work as intended.

    HFC-125 appears to be the replacment for halon 1301, its decomposition products are still pretty nasty (hydrogen fluoride). Those halon systems tend to hang around until they are discharged.
