One or two shots from a silenced 22 rifle would shut these dogs down without all the hassle of feeling bad about shooting an actual dog. It would keep you far enough away to not be filmed.
This would cost the data center 300k while only costing 15 cents or less for two bullets.
You might be underestimating how much damage a .22 round to can do to something, especially when that something is probably at least like 60% lithium ion battery by volume. Yeah, .22s are small by bullet standards and have low stopping power, but they’re still lethal.
That said, if you’ve got a 308 handy, that’ll work reliably too. You won’t be silencing it, but feel free to blow a hole clean through one of these machines and enjoy the fireworks when its battery lights off.

One .22 round to the battery pack will fuck this thing up good. Lithium batteries do not like being punctured and shorted out at the same time.
Worst case scenario, you’ve suddenly decreased the battery’s output enough to force the thing into shutdown. Best case scenario, the punctured battery cells go into thermal runaway and start a fire that consumes the whole thing.
As usual, shot placement is key. I imagine the navigation sensors are fragile enough that a small air rifle could do enough damage to disable them, but a .22 would definitely do it and maybe even be enough to lock up a knee or shoulder joint.
I mean, an EMP would fuck up both 🤷♂️
Awfully complicated for something that can be defeated by a blanket.
I don’t live near big scaly things full of teeth, so what do I know, but making it thrash about in anger would not be my first idea.
Or duct tape
Or a security team that is responsible.

I dunno if a .22 could do much to these. They’re quite sturdy.

Sounds like a perfect use-case for some subsonic .300 Blackout rounds.

12-bore might be a better choice.
Microwaves are easier to manage
Just gotta find a way to make them work while the door is open.
Just punch a hole in the window on the front.
