This video delves into the history and specifications of the Manville Gas Gun, a riot control tool developed in the 1930s. It highlights the various calibers produced (12ga, 25mm, 37mm), emphasizing that the 12ga variant was solely for tear gas and not high-pressure rounds. The description notes its intended use by prison guards and riot police due to its superior ammunition capacity compared to contemporary launchers. It also touches upon a WWII-era attempt to develop a high-pressure version for explosive rounds, which was unsuccessful, and the eventual destruction of the original tooling. The video also mentions the Manville company's wartime production of parts for Oerlikon 20mm AA guns.
