  • If you stood ...

    If you stood infront of one of these with your arms outstretched, would your arms (maybe head, legs etc.) get torn of or would you just get throw backwards?

  • tbh it didn't push ...

    tbh it didn't push down the brick wall, it was really really poorly built for a start. and it's not usefull in a war senario at all really, unless you want to push poeple's guns off them, and depending how good the reload is too. I'm sure if a proper scientist gets on it we would see some real powerfull air blasts like that bomb that you fire in caves that blows up the air around poeple surrecating them in a implosion
