A tank that can freeze things.

The possiblity of a HAND-HELD freeze ray is completely absurd, (heres looking at you bovine), however, a freezing tank could be plausible. Using that chemical that freezes things quikly,(Liquid Nitrogen? I forget), people and objects, mostly vehicle motors I suppose could be frozen. Though at the moment it may seem a little absurd when you could easily blow stuff up, but if there ever is a shortage of materials for shells, chemical can be made again and again...

       This is already available in a lot of ways, but not really useful. The easiest one to get is a can of "air" for dusting computer keyboards, available in the electronics department of Wal-Mart, for instance. Turn it upside-down and it shoots out a blast of very cold liquid that evaporates before it has gone more than a foot or so. I think it is CO2, but I'm not sure. A CO2 fire extinguisher can freeze things, and looks a lot like that. I've never used a dusting can to freeze anything, though.

       Thank you. My depressed self is now having loads of fun with an inverted compressed can of CO2 (or whatever. The can doesn't say).
