A mass driver, quite simply, is a device that acelerates a load in a bucket like device at high speeds and then stops. The load however, continues to move. If a water war mass driver could be built, it would make pneumatic WBLs look like dime store squirt guns.

Advantages:

Delivery of HUGE amounts of water to a target
Intimidation factor
Possibility of Extreme ranges.

Disadvantages

It will take some genius to build this
Hard to aim

Sorry, but I can't find a host that can host this picture.

I doubt there'd be any "Possibility of Extreme ranges." with such a device. If a properly sized nozzle is put on it, I suppose the water will be pushed out by the force and it might get good range.

The problem is making a device with enough force... you would be better off spending your money on extremely high pressure-rated PVC and make a true "water cannon."

You may have seen rail guns in video games... They are technically known as Mass Drivers, and they are the same. What I am saying is, if this worked you wouldn't be hitting people with water, you'd be firing water straight though them. Although, the water would likely just lapse into a shotgun blast rather than an actual stream.
