Just how bad of a shot can you be that you conclude no firearm is the answer? Plenty of calibers that doesnt over penetrate the equipment itself. Plenty of calibers with a small enough MOA to accurately hit the lens.

    Oh my accuracy isn't the issue lol. You're going to shoot the camera from the front so you can hit the silver dollar sized lens? Ok obviously you're a sharpshooter, got it. How far away are you going to be so that you're not filmed by the camera you're in front of? I'd want to be more than 100y away so 22lr is out. What cartridge is flat enough at 100y without overpenetrating injection molded plastic? We'll just pretend there's a clear line of sight with zero potential for passerby and no one will notice your dumbass laying in the grass with a rifle while you calculate drop and windage for your perfect shot.

    Bonus points if you can tell us how you'll disable the nearby flock shot detectors that will triangulate you and have flashing lights on you in a few minutes tops.

    For those reading along, don't do any of this.
