Meet China’s new $456,000 super-soaker. This unique fire truck features a jet-powered water cannon that sprays four tons of water per minute at distances up to 400 feet. The water is said to move at such speed that it choke fires from the oxygen surrounding them.

At the moment there are only 12 fire trucks built which are all located in the fire department of China’s Luoyang City.
