Now, wait a minute. You're forgetting that famous story about the partisans in WWII. They would take a bucket of water up to a lone sentry and offer to give him a drink, right? And then, when he least suspected it, the partisan would dunk his head in the bucket and drown his sorry backside!
Voila! Now the partisan had a neat-o machine gun or other piece of military-grade hardware with which he or she could take out a whole platoon of fascist meanies, and provide firearms for the rest of the partisans in his village!
See, a bucket can be used to resist tyranny!!
Well I guess I stand corrected.
But you would have to admit an ‘Assault Bucket’ - those are the black ones with handles and special shoulder thing that goes for exceptional lethality – are only a decidedly ‘short range’ weapon..
