BUBBAS BEWARE! Revenge of the jugs
Just when you thought it was safe to blast away at those milk and water jugs. Well, they're fighting back.

A potato cannon on steroids:

What is the caliber and weight of the water cooler bottle? I gotta figure the sectional density.

Max range of 500 feet at what MV and 45-degree elevation?

What's the BC of a water cooler bottle?

I believe the weight is about 45 pounds when filled with water. I do not know the caliber.

Wonder if you would get better penetration if you shot if with the flat end first, rather than in "spitzer" mode?

Yes the lightweight and highly packable bottle launcher has a plethora of inane applications.

No wonder the Brits continuously get their asses kicked on the world stage. They're jacking around with moronic stuff like this. Looks like something from a Monty Python skit.

Guess they've never seen the ultra-low technology M203 in action. Roll Eyes

Would probably be more accurate if it had some fine line checkering applied to the launcher.
