I vote for balloons and blunderbusses. There was an actual duel in Paris France in 1808, it was fought in that manner between a Monsieur de Grandpre and a Monsieur de Pique, who had quarreled over a famous dancer called Mademoiselle Tirevit, who was mistress of one and lover of the other. When the duelists balloons reached an altitude of about 2,000 feet and a distance of 80 feet apart, they commenced fire. M. de Pique fired and missed, M. De Grandpre fired and his round struck M. de Pique’s balloon. As it collapsed, the basket tipped dumping out M. de Pique and his second, sending both to their deaths. M. de Grandpre landed safely 20 miles away.

How about a duel to the death with wet noodles?

Pies for everybody. To smear them in their faces, just for satisfaction.

Put them all to work, physical work, in a fast-food restaurant for a week. And then see who all survives.

I vote for grenades at 10 paces and yes, I know the killing range is 50 to 100 yards.

They will need a committee hearing and days of talking heads appearances to sortout the seltzer bottle selection.

Too bad Burr and Hamilton didn’t do it that way.
