Wang Diren remembered that in regions plagued by frequent warfare, ordinary gas canisters meant for cooking were often converted into improvised bombs.
On the battlefields of the Middle East, a unique weapon had quietly emerged. It was not a conventional gun or cannon, but an improvised bomb fashioned from common, everyday gas canisters. Once transformed into cannons, these weapons were dubbed "Hell Cannons" by the locals. Compared to the cost of standard artillery shells—which could run into the tens of thousands—the cost of these was negligible.
After realizing the advantages of the gas canister cannons, they developed versions capable of firing even heavier industrial oxygen cylinders. One such bomb could weigh up to 300 kilograms, equivalent to the combined explosive power of 3,000 hand grenades. An explosion of this magnitude could cause immense devastation, theoretically capable of destroying or severely damaging buildings and vehicles within a small radius while inflicting heavy casualties.
