No way to steer, not likely to hit a target.
I had a car early on that my passengers thought might explode at any time. Ah the good old days filled with adventure.

I don't think it was meant to hit a specific target, just to blow a hole anywhere along the line. Mind you, that still means it would've had to reach the line, and not veer off at 90 degrees.

The British Admiralty tested the Great Panjandrum for the D-Day invasion. It was similar in concept. It was prone to veering 180 degrees!!!
