Bring in the Borkan: Syrian rebels unveil latest weapon in the fight against Assad... a homemade cannon mounted on a digger which blasts gas canisters two miles.

With a range of almost two miles and four tubes attached to a loader, these are the homemade cannon being built by rebel fighters in Syria. The ‘Borkan’ ('Volcano') weapons are built from gas canisters before being placed inside the loader, which can fire four shells at a time.
Ya know, I don't think I'd be standing this close. . .

We should take notes in case we ever need to do some re-enacting such as the Civil War I re-enactors do now.

See why the ATF "had to" add the "E"?

This example, as giligans island as it may be is just another example of what history continually demonstrates- when individual Liberty is threatened/infringed/abridged enough, Free Men will take up arms to defend against that usurpation. And those arms will consist of literally anything and everything those Free people can get their hands on.

And here I thought a bazooka/RPG made of PVC pipe and an improvised Estes rocket was pretty cool.

Isn't that basically just a remake of some of the IRA's mortars from the 80s and 90s?
