What a terrible idea. If you know it exists and want to shoot someone, just get a bunch of random people to shoot in the air all over town. Or even better get a few speakers and some youtube videos of people shooting. Audio is so easy to fake.

you aren't going to make a speaker generate the sharp pressure rise the devices are listening for over any significant distance. Fire crackers are a better bet.

just get a bunch of random people to shoot in the air all over town So now instead of just shooting someone, you're also engaging many conspirators in your plan? Law enforcement tactics are often discounted using contrived scenarios that criminals simply don't undertake. Firstly because most criminals generally aren't masterminds, and for those that actually are, the proposed circumvention activities usually leaves even more of a trace that ends up with people in jail.

The cops catch a few and likely trace the requests back to you via use of plea bargains. > Or even better get a few speakers and some youtube videos of people shooting. Oh yes, even better. Traceable evidence, with fingerprints and maybe purchase records! Not to mention the system to set them all off at the right time. By the way, use of these tactics escalate the murder charge to first degree when they catch you, as it's pretty clearly premeditated.

Or you could go the cheapest and easiest route and get a silencer, as mentioned in the article, clearly most people don't care who hears them.

...Are you actually arguing that every single would-be murderer, premeditated or otherwise, has the forethought and resources to organize a city-wide conspiracy to shoot guns into the air at the exact moment of their crime?
