Freezer cannon

The USSY have devised a method of actually freezeing enemy veichles and soldiers. However the weapon is only suitable for cold enviroments, this makes it ideal for Yatonsa.

A tank of water sends water into the fireing chamber, both the fireing chamber and the tank act as freezers. They cool the water down, when the water is near freezeing temperature compressed gas is released that shoots the water out of the fireing chamber.

It flys out of the barrel and its a target, the additional cold is enough to freeze it after it hits the target.

How are you keeping the water from freezing in the barrel?
What is the maximum height your barrel can elevate to?
Why bother using water? Wouldn't Liquid Nitrogen be more effective?

Wouldn't freezing something as solid as armour just make it stronger? You'd have to flash-freeze then flash-boil the armour to make it brittle IMHO (Well, I believe that's what would have to happen, can someone clarify this?)

I wasnt sure if Liquid-Nitrogean actually froze things, but yes I think we will convert to it.
