Wall Breaker cannon to aid fight against terrorism
2012-01-05
British inventors have added a new weapon to its anti-terrorism armoury - the water cooler canon. The aptly named "Wall Breaker" turns plastic water cooler containers into powerful missiles that can destroy a double layered wall. The canon uses compressed air and can fire a 22kg bottle of water 300m.
Not a bad idea
Sort of an advanced potato gun?

#1  Funny. Cannon were originally invented for medieval seiges. Breaking down walls.
