    What if someone were to use a scoped rifle and shot all the shot spotter sensors? Would it sense its own demise?

      Whether the mics would pick it up would depend on if you use supersonic bullets. They would sense that they are shutting off for some reason though.

      Edit: If you shoot one but another is in range to pick it up then it would. This is starting to sound like a cs problem.

        Suppressors aren’t movie quiet, they just bring down the noise to make it hearing safe.

        This leads me to wonder, would a suppressor actually trick these machines, does it have to be supersonic to pick it up?

        And, what happens when someone near a sensor needs a new roof? Roofers constantly harassed by cops? “Not allowed to use .22 cal nail guns?” Would this thing not pick up Ramsets?
