Would have liked to have seen it done with full cans

Water being an incompressable fluid - that would be MUCH more fun to watch...

There's a channel on screwtube that has a huge hydraulic press, and they crush all kinds of things. I think it's called "Crazy Hydraulic Press Channel". It's very entertaining.

I've seen that, but it is a slow squeeze. A hammer - would be sort of like the ol' sledge-a-matic for Gallagher...

You ever SHOOT full cans? The kind with screw on lids are fun. Full water. A high velocity round in the center is quite spectacular.. Even not in the center is impressive.

I have not tried it with the new plastic motor oil jugs, but I don't think it will be as fun. One gallon metal paint thinner type cans are fun.

I have done gallon milk or water jugs with screw tops. A nice Win 270 or 7.62x54 is enough of a round to make a very fine effect... Actually, just about any quart and up bottle works well also...
