i saw this video on youtube a long while ago about some european created jet engine powered water cannon/pump thing. i think it was for fighting forest fires. IIRC it was like some giant tank with a huge turbine on it that pumped water. don't recall the range on it though.
My "arsenal": Customizable APH, Storm 600 pistol (still haven't finished fixing this), launcher- Model:AB1.0(Decommissioned), AB1.5, soon AB 1.1(2"rebuild) maybe ill get something else in the future

How high can a fire hose shoot vertically? Between 75 feet and 100 feet straight up, depending on water pressure.
This doesn't answer the question at hand but I think if a fire truck could shoot 100 feet vertically it could do at least 200 feet horizontally.

I think I bookmarked a page with a 300+ foot shooting fire truck.
