actually the airless paint sprayers have good pressure only because of the very small hole in the end and don't carry their presuure for more that about 6 feet.

What does that have to do with the picture of a pressure washer I posted?

Because he can't tell the difference.

If you look at the pic, it says "Pressure Washer" in huge bold type right across the middle of the thing.

Oooh...I forgot about pressure washers. My dad used to have a huge Hotsy that sat on a pallet and had to be moved with a forklift. That would work...if you wanted to kill someone. :p

Firfighting equipment...

Self contained HALE floating gas (two stroke!) fire pump...180 gpm at 45' head. Hook up your hose, set this in a swimming pool, pull the cord to start and get ready!

You can also grab empty KIDDE fire extinguishers for next to nothing. Rinse them out well, fill to about 50% with water. Using a rubber tipped blow gun, pressurise to your liking! A Quincy two stage compressor running at 400+ PSI works very well. Be warned though! 400PSI water stream at 1 gallon per SECOND kicks like a 12 gauge 3" magnum and then some!

Draw-Tite uses extremely high pressure water to cut the metal to make trailor hitches. It's better than electrically cutting the metal like with a plasma cutter because it doesn't heat it as much and won't ruin the tempered metal.
 

I swear on my left nesticle that the toy companies stole the water backpack idea from me when I was a kid!

You stole it from the inventor of the flamethrower.
