Georgian protester brings a fireworks gatling gun

109 comments

Same Chad energy as the dude who stopped a watergun alone with a shield.
- This guy holds the line.
- Now combine them and call the wielder Captain Protest
  
  Captain Praxis.
  
  Sounds like average french
- Damn, is that a photograph or just a still from a video? If someone caught that as a photograph, it's stunning. Very impressive.
- IM FUCKING INVINCIBLE

it costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds

How in the fuck does it keep going like that?
- To me it looks like a bunch of what we call Roman candles bunched up together, they're like tubes that will fire maybe between 10-40 shots depending how big they are (I assume these are the biggest ones they could find and like maybe 10/12 of them together).
  
  Have used these before for displays and they are good https://www.cubefireworks.com/en/product/gatling-roman-candle-barrage-300-shot-888
- The link posted as a reply seems to be dead but you can buy them here and it has a video demo, looks like you’re not supposed to hold them.
  Here
  
  Behold! The Gatling Barrage!!
  
  Only $25? Fuck yeah
  
  Nice. Thx

In the USA the cops would’ve shot that guy after the 3rd firework.
- I was wondering how he wasn’t shot yet as I thought it was Georgia in the US.
  
  Soon, that Georgia wants to join the EU, too.
  
  The other one. You know, beeches not peaches.
- Nah they would've eventually given him a cabinet position.
  
  Depends on the colour

Cops: "We have a firehose!"
No, this is a fire hose.

Thats the type of human I want to be in the trench beside me.
- Be the change you want to see...

That is fucking amazing. Bravo.

Finally, a weapon to surpass metal gear.
- !
  
  I heard this comment.

A: Fucking impressive, holy shit. Good on them for having a plan that day.
B: I thought that was a fucking battleaxe in the foreground for a moment there.

Visually impressive and to an enough degree even the anti-riot forces felt necessary to turn the water cannon on the individual.

Jesus tap dancing Christ. That’s simultaneously one of the coolest and most insane things I’ve ever seen. It just kept going!

Now that's how to protest. Make the police sweat. They should fire a few strobe rockets overhead for effect.
- It's more effective in an area where police's response to a perceived threat (real or imaginary) is to shoot first, perspire later.
  Not to take anything away from this particular instance. It's rad and inspiring as hell. However, I fear that, were I to try this at any protest in my area, I would be forcibly aerated in short order.
  Could be doomerism has a hold on me this afternoon, but, if anything, this post makes me despair that any effective protest in my country (i.e. something with enough teeth to make oligarchs take notice) will be met with deadly force employed in the name of "restoring order", and the whole political and media apparatus will jump through hoops to frame the story as, "well, we all applaud protestors for making their voices heard, but they didn't follow our clear directions, and therefore they brought their fates upon themselves."

Holy fuck how much Ammo has this thing?
- "yes"

Fuck yea

Idk what they're fighting about, but I pick that guy's team.
- Russia has infiltrated Georgian politics and is suspending their bid to join the EU.
  
  Oh shit.
- If it was an incoming firework ban, I don't think the authorities would see this as a good case being made.

Based protestor. The hero we need, but don't deserve.
- I wonder how an American protestor with a fireworks gattling gun would be handled
  
  If they are white, and trying to steal grazing lands? Nothing.
  If you are protesting the abuse of the state? You get shot.
  
  Probably depends on protesters skin color

Too bad psycological damage isn't counted on scoreboard
- Right, not to instigate violence but people need to go to the hardware store and buy some pipes and get crafting

In didn't see this in the news. It's freaking awesome. I think it doesn't need to be that fast to be effective. Plus slower would last much longer. And if they had a few in different locations it would be way more interesting too. As is, this is probably some of the best self defense I've ever seen.

Average German New Years celebration. Actually quite tame.
- Average french tuesday

Step Six, Mason! Wield a fist of iron!

Damn, I didn't know the Brotherhood of Steel operated in Georgia.

A song of fire and ice.
- Wish we could hear it!

Riot hwacha

Where can I buy one? Asking for a friend.

Time to let Old Painless out of the bag.

So I guess someone watched arcane and felt inspired to do a real version of Jinx's weapon...

Holy Hannah that is beyond cool. .stl?

This is from Dead Rising 2

Legend

What are the protesters demanding?
The release of Serious Sam 5?
- A free and fair election.
  They had an election recently which was not free and fair, high evidence of vote manipulation, ballots being burnt, people getting beat up and payed at polling states, which led to the pro-Russia party pulled off a suprise “win”.
  
  Give it a few more years and we’ll need our own gatling fireworks in the US. We’ve checked several of those boxes, just not on a large scale.
  
  Sounds like average election in Saint Petesburg.
- The ruling party, recently reelected in a fraudulent election has declared that EU accession talks will be stopped until 2028. This has stoked ongoing protests over election results.
  
  What's sad is that the protests won't accomplish anything. The criminals running corrupt elections do not care about the will of the people (obviously), and they're fine enacting a police state.
- A not corrupt election...

Ahh, nothing says "protest" like possibly burning down your neighbors' houses.
- Does protest mean like, following the law and making everyone feel all comfy and warm inside? GTFO
  
  If only there were some middle ground between peaceful ineffective protesting, and explosives. 🤔
  Nah, that's just silly
- They could use the water hose on the fire instead of the protesters
  
  But you know they won't.
- Get fucked brad
- Aaaah shaddap, Bradley.
- Hey everyone, another privileged asshole here to tell other countries how to be appropriate in their fight for their freedoms
- Why do you have to come in and Brad everything up, Brad?
  
  I'm sorry.
  Yay fireworks! Boom boom BOOM! WHEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
