Great idea. Mount that rig on my pontoon boat and fire it off at the
weekend boaters that insist on turning around within 10 foot of it while
it's tied to the dock. I've thought about a water ballon sling shot but
I'm afraid some %$&*&%$# is likely to escalate the fight by using a
shotgun or 9mm handgun. I remember back in Arizona, two brothers in a
road rage forced a guy to the side of the road. One then reached in the
back window of his pickup and grabbed a baseball bat or pipe and
approached the driver he pulled over. That driver, thinking it was a
rifle and not a bat, pulled his handgun and mortally wounded the guy.
Judge let him off. Said the guy with the bat should have expected that
the other guy might escalate the confrontation. Oh, well maybe I can just
rig up a water hose that permanently shoots water out ...kind of like a
water spray force field. :-)

Bats are just as deadly, I think the judge was a bit timid. I don't
consider self defense an escalation.....more like self preservation.
