Don’t touch them. They carry leprosy.

The ricochet connecting with face is unlikely, but inappropriate shot/bullets bouncing off the scute of armadillos and alligators is a thing that happens.

So that magic bouncing bullet may have infected that Texas voter with Leprosy?

And the armadillo waddled away, quietly chuckling to itself.

Fun 'dillo trivia: The reason so many of them get creamed by cars is that their response to being set upon by a large predator is to jump straight up. Tends to get them wedged in grills rather than safely driven over.
Fun fact #2: Every year several people who are unaware of this fact get black eyes or even broken noses when they startle nine banded armadillos.

Random thought. Tie a grenade to their back and you get a roaming Bouncing Betty mine.

You’d have to include an accelerometer in the grenade that can distinguish a vertical leap from, say, the armadillo rolling into a ball and rapidly falling dow a slope into a gorge or something.
True that. Nothing that can’t be built on an Arduino.
With or without optional impact sensing and the appropriate payload design you can have a fragmentation armadillo that peppers the surroundings with shrapnels, or an armor-piercing one that instead concentrates the blast into a smaller area to deal with vehicles.

The only way to stop armadillos are good men armed with arduino based armour piercing armadillos!

Does an explosive payload carrying armadillo count as an “A-bomb”?

No, it’s an R-bomblet.

Ironically, Texan guy was probably crying, “elp, elp”, with blood gushing out his jaw.
Oh, the leprosy thing is real. I thought it might be a joke.

Some people might see that and think, “dinosaur prog rock” but I’ve always thought of Steve Jackson’s OGRES when I see that.
