Syrian Rebel 'Hell Cannons' Kill 300 Civilians: Monitoring Group -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Syrian rebels using improvised mortar bombs made of cooking gas canisters killed 311 civilians between July and December this year, a monitoring group said on Friday, condemning the use of the wildly inaccurate weapons.

I find this video a little hard to believe, especially matching the explosion to the featured weapon.
