    I wonder how cheaply and effectively you could make a high powered fan rig/battery backpack thing that would move air fast enough to change the direction of this spray

        Well shit. Tru

        Here I am over-engineering the revolution, when we already have airzooka.

        This is actually the play I think. You know how ridiculous it would look to flee from a battalion of airzooka-men? Not only that, but it’s be iffy to have just a few of these, but a couple hundred?

              Peaceful, unarmed, polite compliance 100% gets you shot. If you’re going to do something, bring something that matches what you’re up against.

                  In America a lot of us are given firearms before middle school, unfortunately not all of us have responsible adults teaching us they’re not toys or fashion accessories. We allow ourselves access to lethal tools but teach no responsibility and give the worst ones a badge to shield them from any consequences of their recklessness and bloodthirst.

      I say we start a GoFundMe…bribe someone to install the nozzles on backwards. Add some glitter in the mix as well.

        I agree it needs to be powerful, but this is like the comments people make about electric cars being weak. Battery powered is the most effective option for a high powered device, at least one that needs to ramp up quickly. One of the best things about electric motors is how much torque they can provide, and at a moment’s notice. Sure, it might be heavy if you want it to last long, but it’s easily possible.
