This is just the more direct action version of the ukranians handing out sunflower seeds to Russian soldiers

Whatever it take to arm the community garden

I can't think of a better way to just obliterate seeds.
-
Some seeds need physical or chemical stress to actually germinate. You need rough them up with acid or fire or just sandpaper.
I still don't think this is a brilliant way to spread seeds. But there are some seeds it wouldn't destroy.
-
These would have to be very low power in order to avoid that, yeah. Thankfully, shotguns are incredibly forgiving of that sort of thing if you use a pump action one.
-
Alternatively, you could fire them at an upward angle, letting the seeds scatter widely and fall to the ground in a parabolic arc. Horticultural artillery, as it were.
-
Still doesn't really work. Lots of tree planting involves shoving a sapling in the ground and walking away with no followup. That results in a bunch of dead saplings. Shotgun seeds would probably do the same.
-
I'd think these would be airsoft or something similar

In a mob boss voice, "Vinnie, take him out to the garden to smell the flowers"

lol my head kinda went there too. I'm picturing some crusty old sergeant giving a motivational speech to his troops just before jumping out of a plane or some shit and capping it all of with slapping a green magazine with a sunflower logo on it into an assault rifle, "NOW LET'S GO PLANT SOME GOD DAMNED TREES!"

I feel like this would not work very well in practice because of the heat, pressure, and impact, but it would probably still be kinda fun.
They do make drones that shoot saplings into the ground that actually do work though, they're cool as hell.
-
Came here to say this. Maybe it would work if you wrapped the seeds in a layer of clay for protection.
-
A smaller amount of powder and some heat resistant wadding might also work.

Decent fertilizer...

Grim Fandango is a classic

Am I super high or are people eating the onion. We get that it's supposed to be an artistic statement right?

(Door gunner shooting belt fed seeds out of helicopter)
Get some! Get some! -

"I'm going to plant flowers into you" is kind of an intimidating threat now.
-
Do they actually work as intended?
-
Probably, but broadcast is way more effective

Loading the shells took a while

Will it still kill a deer?
Or knock a can off a fence?
