What would appear as a plain pipe is actually a sound generator first used by Israeli farmers to scare birds from crop fields. Of course, somebody had to profit from it and converted the device into a crowd dispersion mechanism. After doing so, they also discovered the machine can also kill.

This is the Thunder Generator, my friends, which operates using a mixture of liquefied petroleum, cooking gas, and air in order to create explosions that in return generate shock waves capable of stunning people from 30 to 100 meters away. If within that range, the machine is completely harmless for a human being, only making people run in panic after feeling the sonic blast hitting their bodies, then approaching it at less than ten meters would be a definite mistake.

Namely because at closer ranges than 10 meters, the Thunder Generator is completely capable of killing you, or at least cause permanent damage. This comes only in single-barrel configuration, but just like the manufacturer claims - namely ArmyTec - this can be mounted anywhere, whereas combining it with other barrels, one can create even more powerful boom designs.

Also, if needed, somebody can even mount several cannons on different places, synchronize them into creating a sound barrier perimeter that is capable of dissuading enemies with ease. I wonder what would take to actually build a sound barrier, with cannons aimed at one another and deflecting the sound in one another thus actually designing a wall of sound waves that one can practically hit.

That is further into my attention as the manufacturer says the sonic wave can even be made to turn 90 degrees to fire around corners, just by using a curved barrel design. Another architecture for this to be implemented would be music clubs, to add up to the bass. Definitely NOT a mistake in clubs.
