Water cannons can be effective.
I was in Okinawa for the reversion riots of about 1969-70. We manned a water cannon in Naha Port to defend the main gate, it was fed by two 143’ ocean tugs equipped as fire boats. A lot of power. When rioters climbed the fence gate we not only blew them off but across a four lane highway.

"When rioters climbed the fence gate we not only blew them off but across a four lane highway." Brings a smile to me!
