I do the open palm smack on the body or window sometimes -- They hear it. This is usually when they right hook me or pull out and cut me off when I have absolutely clear right of way. Of course, it is hard for them to argue with their having violated my ROW if I am close enough to smack, too.
I only do it when there are lots of people around. I don't worry too much about guns that way, though I know it is a risk.
Eventually I'll invest in an Airzound...
