Fill the unused space in our military’s missiles and cluster bombs with festive confetti.

Created by D.M. on September 26, 2014

The majority of missiles and bombs used by America’s military have wasted empty space between the internal components. For example, agm-114 hellfire missiles have a pocket of empty space between the warhead section and pneumatic accumulator that circles the inside of the casing.

Confetti would not interfere with the inner-workings of the bomb, and it would only add approximately 0.013% to it’s cost. One might argue that adding 2 pounds to the overall payload would decrease the fuel efficiency and increase costs, but this weight can easily be nullified if the pilot skips lunch or flies without shoes on - If they’re not walking, why do they need shoes?

Benefits:

Grotesque scenes turned a little more beautiful.
Pilots will smile more (less PTS).
Confetti absorbs water from fractured pipes.
