Description One of my oldest personal favorites; there is a second page to this large piece, located here: [link]

These are four high-power water cannons mounted onto a stationary platform. On the left and right are two single-shot piston guns; a full-panning turret is located on top of the central frame, which contains a two-shot cannon and a continuous fire-capable gun. Control valves, pan/tilt mechanisms, air/water pressure tanks, logic hubs, and other miscellaneous electronics are all exposed on this open design. See if you can trace where the fluid pipes, cables, and conduits lead to...

The second page, linked above, has "condensed operating instructions" as well as drawings of the "pump cart" and main control panel.

The least practical weapon in my collection to date, but nevertheless an overly-ambitious version of a Super Soaker, I think. Completed on June 3, 2003.

Depends. Can I re-aim this one quickly enough while you run circles around it? XD

what good would this do at a range of over like 10 or 20 feet though? drench the enemy?

Nothing other than a good soaking!

This was more of a study on basic engineering design; there's essentially no practical use for this harmless weapon.

Your designs has that "mad scientist" appeal that could convince people that with enough funding the project in question could work.
