The real takeaway from this is tht Trump can not lift 4lbs. Therefore it is impossible to throw.If your whole goal is to inflect pain on someone a heavier object (the difference between a 1lb and 4lb object) the brick would have more energy.
You mean, in the absurd scenario where you had the choice of one or the other but not neither?
Here's an idea, how about you address the point he was making?
So, to be clear - have there been any reports of an *actual* soup-throwing epidemic?
Then ask them to open one of the cans as proof. I suspect most trumpanzees can't work a can opener, or even get into a pull tab can of soup.You mean the point that neither paint balls or soup cans are good.
Bags of soup are cheaper than bricks.

[PDF] Physics of overarm throwing | Semantic Scholar
Measurements are presented of the speed at which objects of different mass can be projected by an overarm throw. Light objects can be thrown faster than heavy objects, although the difference in speed is not as large as one might expect. For a factor of 60 increase in the thrown mass, there was...www.semanticscholar.org
I am really surprised that PCgeek or Trump would not have been able to either google this or the intellect would have simply overlooked basic physics..
But the brick wins in multiple categories

We know.I have no idea.

Next time just ask for a mental exemption from intelligent discussions, since you're either incapable of understanding the point he's making, or you're pretending to be.
Really digging into the weeds I see.
I wonder why you refuse to see the point that Trump was making.
"The weeds" being the discussion you got yourself into, then you then attempted to derail it.
I don't refuse to see any point. Here's the sum total of what he had to say in that clip:
1: Cans can be used to throw at people.
This is a newsflash except to anyone who's paid at least 5 minutes of attention to the topic of policing protests in the last ~60 years or more, that seemingly innocuous objects can be used to hurt people / damage property. Police need to look out for anything that could be used as an offensive weapon / potential missile.
2: People intent on committing violence will attempt to transport potential missiles and other weapons, perhaps utilising cutting-edge technology such as a bag.
Wow. Who would have thunk?
3: Trump attempting to conflate protesters with people wanting to cause violence.
4: Trump doesn't like people protesting, and not due to any sense of empathy.
5: Trump asserting that the media are engaging in a cover-up of violence at protests.
What's to say about these last three points? Anyone who isn't a Trump zealot would not be remotely surprised that he would hold these opinions.
