Same Chad energy as the dude who stopped a watergun alone with a shield.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 57 points 2 months ago

This guy holds the line.

Damn, is that a photograph or just a still from a video? If someone caught that as a photograph, it's stunning. Very impressive.

it costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds

Oh my God... who touched Sasha!?!?

I ain't got time to bleed.

Still not comparable to military ammo costs

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 103 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How in the fuck does it keep going like that?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 86 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To me it looks like a bunch of what we call Roman candles bunched up together, they're like tubes that will fire maybe between 10-40 shots depending how big they are (I assume these are the biggest ones they could find and like maybe 10/12 of them together).

Have used these before for displays and they are good https://www.cubefireworks.com/en/product/gatling-roman-candle-barrage-300-shot-888

The link posted as a reply seems to be dead but you can buy them here and it has a video demo, looks like you’re not supposed to hold them.

In the USA the cops would’ve shot that guy after the 3rd firework.

[–] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I was wondering how he wasn’t shot yet as I thought it was Georgia in the US.

[–] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Soon, that Georgia wants to join the EU, too.

Nah they would've eventually given him a cabinet position.

[–] mudstickmcgee@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

Depends on the colour

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 63 points 2 months ago

Cops: "We have a firehose!"

No, this is a fire hose.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thats the type of human I want to be in the trench beside me.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Be the change you want to see...

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

That is fucking amazing. Bravo.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Finally, a weapon to surpass metal gear.

A: Fucking impressive, holy shit. Good on them for having a plan that day.

B: I thought that was a fucking battleaxe in the foreground for a moment there.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 39 points 2 months ago

Visually impressive and to an enough degree even the anti-riot forces felt necessary to turn the water cannon on the individual.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Jesus tap dancing Christ. That’s simultaneously one of the coolest and most insane things I’ve ever seen. It just kept going!

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now that's how to protest. Make the police sweat. They should fire a few strobe rockets overhead for effect.

Idk what they're fighting about, but I pick that guy's team.

Russia has infiltrated Georgian politics and is suspending their bid to join the EU.

Average German New Years celebration. Actually quite tame.

In didn't see this in the news. It's freaking awesome. I think it doesn't need to be that fast to be effective. Plus slower would last much longer. And if they had a few in different locations it would be way more interesting too. As is, this is probably some of the best self defense I've ever seen.
