Water cannon Explanation: A water cannon is a device that shoots a high-pressure stream of water. Typically, a water cannon can deliver a large volume of water, often over dozens of metres / hundreds of feet. They are used in firefighting and riot control. Most water cannons fall under the category of a fire monitor. Reference: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cannon |
