Fight Fires with a Gun!

Fight Fires with a Gun!
Fight fire with fire we always say -- those bright red canisters attached to hoses are for sissies. Real men fight fires with The Shooter, a concept for a fire extinguisher gun.

The premise is simple, yet brilliant; what looks like a fancy Nerf gun is loaded with up to eight pressurized CO2 cartridges that smother the fire. You simply adjust the distance belt, aim, and fire the carbon dioxide bullets into the fire. The bullets explode releasing their flame extinguishing payload.

If we ever get our hands on one of these, we might just start setting a fire or two just for the fun of putting it out. Fighting fires is officially bad-ass. [From: Wired]
