How does it work?
The device fires water-cooler bottles at 300m (984ft) a second to break into buildings. It fires a charge, a big barrel of water - and that impact can smash through a double layer breeze-block wall.
The Wall Breaker has advantages over traditional methods of gaining entry to buildings and structures. Security teams, counter-terrorism officers might use explosives, however, if you're trying to rescue a hostage, that's pretty dangerous because the explosion and the debris can cause damage. What's great about using water is that the casing shatters and it just sprays out water. It means security teams are much closer to the point of entry, giving them vital seconds.
