in the canadian house the two caught up and michelangelo explained some of his new art comcepts and designs such as pieces involving living rats in them... Leonardo had become interested in urban combat and had made a study of 'whizzbang' devices used by combat soldiers in small enclosed spaces like buildings and walled areas... a whizzbang is a commonly used device thrown by stalking soldiers bearing machine guns...when thrown into a quarter before storming it... It creates confusion emitting noises and smoke... The point being to create confusion and a 'smokescreen' before launching an assault... Leonardo realized confusion was an important strategic or tactical concept not only in conventional guerilla forms of warfare but also in information and propaganda warfare...
In any case, Leonardo had developed a number of his own 'whizzbang' devices... A common variation that pleased Leonardo was a ball device that would break into 7 or 8 smaller component balls which could bounce like little flubbery rubber balls and then perform various variable functions:
i) explode. ii) explode gently and release tear gas and or smoke iii) flash brightly and or emit piercing high pitched sounds...
Leonardo had begun testing his inventions with members of the la familia drug cartel in mexico
another idea was for the storming force to wear protective earware and then bombard an assault point with high-pitched sound waves
