During the later half of the sceond world war, Germany experimented with a wide variety of odd weapons, many using natural elements as a weapon. In 1944, Albert Speer launched plans to design several different efficient weapons to stop the Allies' massive advance, one was the Air Gun. The idea was to fuel the gun with hydrogen and oxygen, which would cause a trumendous explosion, and out would come a plud of air. The point was to concentrate this "invisible plud of air" at a low-flying airplane, and the power from the blast would simply tear the plane apart.

Examples were produced and used during WW2, and I think it would just be an awesome addition to the game!

Please cite where it actually worked... was actually put into production, and actually did more than fart in the wind?

Lol, it was produced (see picture above), and it was used to defend against aircraft on a bridge (forget name) on the Elbe river. It was never used successfully, but heck, neither was the 163.
-
The 163 did have kills, albeit not alot. The fart cannon didnt. :confused:

Lol, 9, besides, I would not jude the AIR GUN on service success, but potential.
-
How many aircraft could we add that had potential but were not used?
P-38K? F7F? P-80?

Ah, but you see, the air-gun was used. Also, it is called "whirlwind"

Meh, is just a suggestion. Thankou for the constructive criticism.

I saw that on the history channel, and some people did make it (small scale) and it can blow down model houses. Maybe put it in another arena called (experimental weapons)

Just be glad the Allies were mercilllessly bombing the pumpkin fields in the Ruhr, or this could have turned the tide of the entire war. :D

What immediately struck me when seeing the picture: This pumpkin gun has the same bore & barrel length as this one:

When I first saw it, I thought it was a rail gun they converted to shoot pumpkins.
