If the structure is made of aluminium, one could try a few drops of gallium.

This is the most interesting option.

Is gallium metal traceable?

Gallium Vs High Pressure Tank

That's interesting. I didn't expect the gallium to work so quickly.

Crazy saboteur material.

You may be able to put a copper jacket around it,
or freeze it. Then shoot it from an air gun.

I wonder how much material is needed. You could probably use a fairly thin copper jacket.

Does gallium affect brass?

Not much, but you can also coat it to be sure for long term usage.
Fledermaus probably has some videos with plastic containers that can be filled with stuff.
But for an airgun a led or brass shell might be better.
To affect aluminium you need to scratch it as well. It is covered with an oxide layer that protects it. It makes it look whitish.

It sounds like:

Gallium is corrosive to all metals except tungsten and tantalum, which have a high resistance to corrosion.

I saw a test, and it only works against Aluminium. But very effectively as you can see in the video.
