I lean towards Cacofonix's methods myself - can't carry a tune in a bucket.

I like the idea that rather than having a jewel in there, they actually stuffed Jewel in there.

Err no, it was intended to be a joke, just like the rest of the poll.
Pistols = something you shoot people with, i.e. evil, possibly military.
Water Pistol = something you shoot people with, but its only water, i.e. ok, harmless, not military at all.
Military grade water pistols = something military worthless like a water pistol cant be "military grade".

Just 'cause you meant it as a joke doesn't mean they don't exist!

Show me a soldier using a water pistol and then I'm actually proved wrong.

A device like the linked one doesnt really count, as nobody carries those around or uses them as a weapon. They're simply too heavy.

Happy?  They've been used since the 1930's, but they're truck mounted.

Although new developments are in progress...



But the backlash knocks the user down, too...

Isn't the current "term of trade" Less-Lethal? And as one who had done a fair amount of baby-sitting, I've found that some of those "super soaker" style water-carbines can sting on bare skin at close range, and certainly need to be kept out of eyes (safety glasses or wrap-round sunnies for all combatants under Akima's rules  :police: ).

Keep trying.  You might succeed...

No, it's legit, from this article - appears to be a test run.
