This fire extinguishing shotgun stifles flames with compressed air
This fire extinguisher looks just like a shotgun, but it is incredibly effective at dealing with dangerous fires.
It's called the IFEX 3000 and it has been used by firefighters in Germany since 1994.
By using compressed air, the sudden change in air pressure starves the fire of oxygen, extinguishing it very quickly.
The extinguisher has a top range of 16 metres but is most effective between 6-10 metres.
