There is a flavor of SovCit thinking that refuses to say “understand” because they believe it secretly has a double meaning to “stand under” someone and give up your rights and accept their authority. They think judges and police are trying to trick them into waiving their rights when they ask if the SovCit understands something.

It is a single tube version of the double tube AMOS system that’s been in foreign service for quite a while. The turret can elevate to 85 degrees. The AMOS looks decently roomy inside as the whole tube is in the turret which frees up the interior body of the vehicle, and the breach loading makes the operation pretty simple. I presume the single tube NeMo is going to match or be simpler than the AMOS.

Prototype Water Cannon - CZ Tarantule (1990s) (lemmy.world)

CZ Tarantule was supposed to be used in cases where explosives couldn’t be used due to a high risk of collateral damage. The Tarantule uses a modified .50 caliber blank round loaded from the breech of the 18mm caliber smoothbore barrel to propel the 70ml of water which is poured down the muzzle and sealed in the bore via a...

Yes! A percussion actuated neutralizer (PAN) uses 12 gauge shells. Usually blanks, and the barrel is filled with water and plugged with a plastic cap.

PANs can be either manually placed or mounted on robots.

The Tarantule is quite a massive take on the idea. Which is probably the reason it never took off. The niche a PAN fills is specific and rarely is a concentrated water charge of such a huge size as the Tarantule needed.

Imagine a 12 gauge shotgun that somebody remade as a .50 cal. That’s basically what’s happening.

In bomb disposal, big applications tend to be less focused directional things- like popping car trunks, which you can do with a factory made Boot Banger, or Jerry can with C4 duct taped to one side.

Why are these all cropped like this?

I’ve played a few games of 2e to try it out. It is a colorful, but awkward system. The kind of thing you’d have to play with a good natured friend. The rules are too vague and requiring mutual agreement to be any kind of tournament mindset competitive.

The small nature of the armies involved in a 2e force makes it appealing to me. I have a number of classic marines and some scratch made vehicles, which over time were supplemented by some plastic kits. I don’t have anything truly amazing like that old style Land Raider, which is simply an amazing design.

I’ll see what I can do.
