Hello everyone.
I was watching an episode of Conan where he visits the explosion ordnance disposal division. When Conan asks to a soldier what is the barrel on the bomb disposal robot for the man answers purposely in a vague way, telling nothing about it's usage. So i decided to ask you guys.
My guesses are that it's used for some kind of radiation measurement like a geiger counter, a EMP gun to disable electronic bombs or even a simple air gun to get rid of dust.
