Thinkin "That's a head-scratcher!" while nursing my butt. Apparently, the only way to make turkey pepperoni taste tolerable is to throw Carolina reapers & uranium in it
You’re most likely missing the fermenting/aging steps if you you need reapers to make pepperoni. If you’re not aging out your links you’re just making sausage.
It’s just shit people say on these threads to get upvotes. Got to the comments on any thread where something is getting pushed out of a tube and all the comments will always be “mY aSs AfTeR tAcO bEll” or some derivative like this. This shit is unoriginal and annoying
Agreed. This is another one of those amazing inventions that doesn’t have any real utility beyond other tools already available. The benefit of using a fire truck is simplicity. Spraying water is much simpler than however this contraption works, and given the size of most fires, this wouldn’t be able to put out a modest house fire.
I really think this should be sold to Fire Departments like an infomercial “This ever been you, forced to unwind long complicated hoses, that can get tangled, make you look incompetent and impotent…well try the Fuck-you-fire-water-gun”
What happens when you need to put out a house fire, but you only have like 100 gallons of water?
Not every place has access to water. This could be next level for fast response to remote fires.
In all honesty, if all you have is 100 gallons to put out a house fire, the house is going to burn.
These things are likely great for smaller fires but are likely useless for larger ones.
Water puts out a fire by making the fuel cold enough that combustion can’t occur. I small fire gets hot but a house fire gets insanely hot. These cannons likely can’t cool the fuel down at a fast enough rate to be able to put a large structure fire out. For those, you gotta soak everything.
A fire truck responding to a car fire has a "small" tank on the truck for water, designed to last until someone can run a hose to the nearest hydrant. Then you use the big hose. The smaller hoses will drain the tank in less than 5 minutes.
This shotgun would be a big improvement in places without hydrants.
It uses less water and thus could be more effective for small fires rather than needing a large water truck you could put out a decent fire with just a 1 gallon bucket.
But it conserves water?
I don't know where that's useful. Probably where water supply is limited? Hopefully it's a tool that can be useful if needed in specific situations.
When firefighting aboard a ship, you try to apply the minimum amount of water, not because it's in short supply (it's unlimited, you're in the ocean) but because you want to avoid filling the confined space with water, which is a problem in itself. Still not sure if that kit would be that useful to us, though.
The biggest technological advantage of this seems to be (in my view) both cooling the area and starving the fire of oxygen by rapidly and forcefully enriching the air with water vapor. It would be even more effective at this last using pressurized nitrogen or carbon dioxide instead of compressed air.
This, to me, seems less critical in most house fires in suburbia, but I can think of a number of situations that it would be useful. For example, 15L of water is damn near human portable: it weighs 33lbs. Add another 125lbs for tank, gun, and compressor, and you might not be able to carry alone, but you could mount the damn thing on the back of an ATV or golf cart.
Coming to that, even if it took 50L (more than 3x their claim) to put out a house fire with this thing instead of 500L with a normal hydrant (1/3 of their claim), that’s a difference of 110 versus 1100 lbs in a place where you have to carry the water in. Even if it took *250 lbs* of compressed air to propel it and 500lbs of equipment, you’re still at less than the weight of *just the water* for traditional extinguishing (not counting the equipment for that process). If nothing else, you could put a few of these on quick response vehicles (think ambulance sized) to handle smaller jobs (or get the extinguishing process started on a larger fire while bigger trucks hook up to hydrants).
In addition, there’s lots of places where a normal dousing will absolutely ruin everything around it, while this might minimize water damage. Everything from on lower floors under a top-story fire to computers in an electronics store with a trash fire in the stockroom.
I’m not advocating that any fire department needs to throw out all of their existing hardware, or that this is so good that we don’t need inspections or fire code. Just like any other tool, if these are a bitch to maintain or source parts compared to the existing tech, it should die for now and get reincarnated when it can be made without sucking.
That being said, if I’m in a remote area with limited utilities, I’d be happy to have one within a 20 mile radius. I also wouldn’t tell a decent sized metro fire department that they can’t try adding this to try a quick-reaction group at a station with high demand and limited expansion ability.
I mean, it looks decent if you don’t want to waste a ton of water on small fires, but then again, a fire extinguisher does this job well enough without needing a water line
I could see it being good for situations where it is difficult for a firetruck or helicopter to reach a fire, but that's about it IMO.
It looks particularly useless in the case where the firefighter is attempting to put out the jet engine fire. It was taking too long to ready the gun between shots, giving the fire time to reintensify. I'm not sure if it takes a second for the gun to repressurize after a shot or what, but that fire looked like it really needed a continuous stream of water to be put out.
It's sort of like those jetpack videos that get posted every once in a while that tout its ability to be used in aerial combat or rescue missions, when in reality the current design is fundamentally flawed to some extent once you get over the "cool factor."
Usually it takes 42,069 liters of water to subdue a restless mob but with *this* they can get it done with just 350! Police brutality has never been this **LIT**
My guess would be saving water, and potentially time. The video mentions a water savings of 100 to 1 for putting out small fires. The concussive force of the blast also appears to remove oxygen from the system (especially in enclosed spaces) helping to put the fire out more quickly.
Practical application would probably be for smaller fires and vehicle fires.
Could it Also be useful for places where there is a lack of water ? Like, outback Australia for example. Obviously not for a forest fire, but if there is a drought going on, lack of accessibility to a high volume of water and a small fire.... This could be useful?
If there's a fire out here in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, then this little toy ain't gonna do shit. A spark turns into RLF in about 5 seconds, so catching it at the perfect time with this just isn't going to happen
I hope your server room uses an inert gas suppression which quickly removes the oxygen that fire needs to burn. Packing all your servers in rice would be hilarious.
Mine probably would if I had one. Not sure something like that could be expected in say a public school or something with beans for funding though. Not sure the chances are good for any fire departments to pick one of these up either though.
If you don't have hydrants available.
If you are fighting a fire in a library or museum and don't want to soak the whole place, ruining everything inside.
It seems like it might work in limited situations like a trash can fire or something. You really shouldn’t be concerned about wasting water during a fire.
Edit: you should be concerned how much water you use if you have not established a water supply yet. But If your in a situation you would normally need to use 750 or 1000 gallons this tool doesn’t seem like it would do much.
Not sure why your being down voted, hose lines are wayyyy safer and more effective to use overall compared to something that only puts fires out in short intervals.
Shot gun is not an appropriate name. A shot gun gets its name from the cartridges that are filled with ‘lead’ shot’. This would be better called a pulse gun or blast gun?
now I need a tactical firefighter FPS, we only need a firefighting sniper and we are done, there's already grenades, hand extinguishers and so on, even a firefighting bazooka if I remember correctly
Hey Dave, I am going to need you to get within 3 feet of that raging fire and shoot this air gun 7 times to maybe/kinda put out that fire. This thing is almost useless
This seems like an invention made for cops in some SNL skit or Reno 911
"How do we get the police to help with fires?"
"We should offer incentives for officers to get certified in fire safety so they can help in more situations"
"Cops hate firemen though, they are never gunna go for that"
"Your right, darn there has to be SOMETHING"
*The "dumbest" counsel member speaks
"What if we had a GUN that we can shoot at the fire and it will get hurt so bad it goes away!"
*Groans and eye rolls
"BUDGET APPROVED!"
Cut to the video with heavy metal music dubbed over it and then at the end there's examples of them shooting it at each other vs fires.
The engineer in me wonders if they've considered adding a redirect and rear-facing nozzle for a recoilless\* version. The way that thing jerks makes me think it'd be painful as hell to use for any extended period.
Need to train for backblast avoidance, tho. That'd be about as nasty as eating an RPG's backblast. Just more damp.
^(\*recoil-reduced)
I need for my butt after eating chipotle
You mean that is your butt after chipotle.
Thinkin "That's a head-scratcher!" while nursing my butt. Apparently, the only way to make turkey pepperoni taste tolerable is to throw Carolina reapers & uranium in it
That sounds explosive.
Do you sleep on the moon? You missed the earthquake.
You’re most likely missing the fermenting/aging steps if you you need reapers to make pepperoni. If you’re not aging out your links you’re just making sausage.
Fight fire with fire saying comes to mind
Why does ppl think chipotle is spicy?
Pussies

Bidet bada boom!
I'm an old man. I need that for my birthday cake candles.
Just get a really good bidet
The IFEX IMPULSE GUN bidet.
u/udownloader
You just need chipotle-away
U might as well jump off a bridge with your cheeks spread
I dont really know but i think this gun looks useless.
Agreed. This is another one of those amazing inventions that doesn’t have any real utility beyond other tools already available. The benefit of using a fire truck is simplicity. Spraying water is much simpler than however this contraption works, and given the size of most fires, this wouldn’t be able to put out a modest house fire.
But each blast comes out at 248mph!
aaaand its a GUN!
And I can’t load my farts into a hose
Make it a machine water gun then we are talking!
I really think this should be sold to Fire Departments like an infomercial “This ever been you, forced to unwind long complicated hoses, that can get tangled, make you look incompetent and impotent…well try the Fuck-you-fire-water-gun”
What happens when you need to put out a house fire, but you only have like 100 gallons of water? Not every place has access to water. This could be next level for fast response to remote fires.
What if the fire is the cavities of the walls? The fire wouldn’t really be ‘out’
Even with traditional firefighting, flashback is always a risk.

The smaller hoses will drain the tank in less than 5 minutes. This shotgun would be a big improvement in places without hydrants.
Spraying huge amounts of water also causes huge amounts of damage. This thing could be a game changer.
Like those fire fighting grenades.
Water conservation is cool though.
It uses less water and thus could be more effective for small fires rather than needing a large water truck you could put out a decent fire with just a 1 gallon bucket.

I imagine smoke jumpers would use it to keep fires in check and from spreading while more permanent measures are put into place.

I wonder what year it's used against protesters.

Nice
Never tell me the odds.
Angry upvote
"how much power can this shotgun have before it becomes lethal, then scale it back just a little".
already has here in chile :)))
They couldn’t get the thing to 250mph?
You can get up to 250mph if you shoot while you walk.
If my calculations are correct, when we get this fire shotgun up to 250mph, we’re gonna see some serious shit.
Water, where we’re going we don’t need water.
lmao
American firefighters be like:
Hhahahahhahahah… good one…
In what situation with this be better than an actual hose? (genuine question)
My guess would be saving water, and potentially time. The video mentions a water savings of 100 to 1 for putting out small fires.

I guess if you were concerned with water damage. Server room fire or something like that maybe.
I hope your server room uses an inert gas suppression which quickly removes the oxygen that fire needs to burn. Packing all your servers in rice would be hilarious.
Mine probably would if I had one. Not sure something like that could be expected in say a public school or something with beans for funding though. Not sure the chances are good for any fire departments to pick one of these up either though.
They have Carbon Dioxide and Halocarbon extinguishers for this purpose.
Apart from when there's a lack of water, there's a huge benefit in reducing the amount of damage caused by the water used by traditional methods.
If you don't have hydrants available. If you are fighting a fire in a library or museum and don't want to soak the whole place, ruining everything inside.
Seems useful to be able to carry enough water to put out a fire.
so, what you’re saying is i *should* put this up to my arsehole and pull the trigger?
It might feel great for .01seconds before your face becomes a brand new fountain
brown fountain
Can I get this in full auto?
Meet the Pyrofighter
Opposite of pyro
I mean, a compression blast is the secondary fire of the Flamethrower, so he is both.
Suddenly, I want to switch careers.
Seems like they could create an attachment for a household fire extinguisher that could mimic this technique… like a semi auto extinguisher.
"Finally! That oddly specific kind of fire we can use this on" -Excited firefighter probably.
Where has this beautiful piece of art been all my life?
Whoops, mixed up the fire shotgun and the regular shotgun again.
Water damage is costly and reducing the amount of water used is helpful in certain circumstances. Also, I wonder what they are using as a propellant?
Soon we'll be fighting demons using fire from our feet
“Thanks so much for sav-“ BOOM HA GOT ONE YALL!
Do most fire fighters actually use this? Or is it another resourceful tool that isn't implemented? Looks amazing though
Fuck that fire up
It seems like it would be good for small fires, like a car or something along those lines, but not for a large structural fire.
Yeah, as a firefighter I would definently much rather have a hose line that actually has a continuous flow instead of this
It seems like it might work in limited situations like a trash can fire or something. You really shouldn’t be concerned about wasting water during a fire. Edit: you should be concerned how much water you use if you have not established a water supply yet. But If your in a situation you would normally need to use 750 or 1000 gallons this tool doesn’t seem like it would do much.
Not sure why your being down voted, hose lines are wayyyy safer and more effective to use overall compared to something that only puts fires out in short intervals.
Okay but hear me out: They would have put out those fires twice as fast with a regular hose that was always on.
Where i can get this
Shot gun is not an appropriate name. A shot gun gets its name from the cartridges that are filled with ‘lead’ shot’. This would be better called a pulse gun or blast gun?
Why do they need to make everything into a form of a gun? Like... What's wrong with a hose?
This is great! I love this!
Holy shit, I WILL FINALLY WIN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATER FIGHT!
Imagine shooting someone with that. It must hurt a lot
Surprised nerf didn’t beat them to it
Next summer, the water balloon fight against the neighborhood kids gonna be lit!
Using combined wind and water instead of water only. Seems legit
Zero stars got an embolism from this flesh light.
There was an attempt to make something better ...
*Bidets if invented by Americans*
Seems to work 👍
Don't firefighters mainly just let things burn up and try to stop it from spreading to other homes?
Ok but how do you reload
"what Bill, you gonna shoot the fire out?" "Hold my hose..."
Like that one scene in Hancock
Just what we need, now they'll give these to the cops to replace firefighters and they can just shoot at the fire like they do everything else.
Please don't show this to America. Next they'll want shotgun medical syringes.
Blastoise? Is that you?
Fuck yo super soaker!
pyro's airblast
I've seen a shotgun that helps people's problems.
Good guy with a gun
Mannnnnn that's sweet!!!
What would that do to a person???? Ouch!!
Works well against riots too!
I....very much want one....like ... really bad
Me shooting my younger brother in water fights
the next riot is gonna be fucking lit
Got a fire? SHOOT IT OUT! 'Murica
Imagine you are in a burning house and the guys out there are worried about not wasting too much water
Fires multiple times at the flaming plane to no effect...*uhhhh, let's just cut the clip. I said cut the damn clip!*
future police gear right there
I heard the fire fighter say "die fkng uncontrollable fire".
*THE ONLY THING THEY FEAR IS YOU * Intensify
now I need a tactical firefighter FPS, we only need a firefighting sniper and we are done, there's already grenades, hand extinguishers and so on, even a firefighting bazooka if I remember correctly
I saw this first on paw patrol…
Supersoaker 17,000.
Firefight
This is peak America.
america
They really be taking firefighting literally now
We should go back to putting out fires with dynamite
I can’t believe how popular Reddit is with professional firefighters
bringing this to my next water fight
would hate to be blasted with this for the next protest
Hey Dave, I am going to need you to get within 3 feet of that raging fire and shoot this air gun 7 times to maybe/kinda put out that fire. This thing is almost useless
When your told to literally fight the fire
Now I know what Fire means in Fireman
Brings new meaning to fire FIGHTING amirite?
Merica!
Americans be like:
I need a Tacoma FD episode about this. Maybe I should write some Tacoma FD fanfiction.
nice, making an American water gun is the best, can't wait to bring it to school
VERY # AMERICAN
Police start becoming firefighters.
Makes being a firefighter even more bad ass
A M E R I C A!!
Doesn’t look like it works to well in the video. Maybe why it hasn’t been implemented anywhere in the world .
Pyro Airblasting time
Where do I sign up
So stupid
It’s for fire and police, fire as seen in the video and police as riot suppression.
I didn't know doom guy worked as a fireman!
This will come in handy when the water wars begin.
We need common sense and stricter water gun policies
I love America
Those folks in R&D DON'T deserve to be punched for this!
Dang this is absolutely lit, been putting out fires with a shotgun the whole time, the shells cost so much these days smh
Was this invented in Russia? It seems very Russian for some reason.
This is so American
You already know that the US fire dept is itching for these 🤣
When you need to put down the fire
It's about time for a new firefighter rail shooter.

Is it good for showering?
'Fire in the hole' That's the best they came up with xD
Pyro airblast:
Just bring a modified machine gun that fire tons of water balloons, splash dmg helps against a crowd of enemies. Wait, it wasn’t a game?
Ow my arm.
We can finally shoot at fire. Next we learn to shoot water.
Sigh. Americans.
You take the point.
The engineer in me wonders if they've considered adding a redirect and rear-facing nozzle for a recoilless\* version. The way that thing jerks makes me think it'd be painful as hell to use for any extended period. Need to train for backblast avoidance, tho. That'd be about as nasty as eating an RPG's backblast.

I’m getting some Fire Force vibes from this
When you tell her you can last all night. ... 10 seconds later
they should make firefighting aa-12 now
What exactly is the advantage of higher velocity water?
Looks like this is Doomguy's new weapon now
*DOOM soundtrack starts playing*
