Abstract
A shotgun hydroblasting system includes a chassis. A motor is operable to drive movement of the chassis. A support arm assembly is mounted to the chassis. A shotgun nozzle mounted to the support arm assembly such that the shotgun nozzle is movable relative to the chassis on the support arm assembly. The shotgun nozzle includes a barrel defining a primary outlet for pressurized fluid and a suppressor defining a secondary outlet for the pressurized fluid. The barrel and the suppressor are positioned and oriented such that a force of the pressurized fluid exiting the secondary outlet opposes a force of the pressurized fluid exiting the primary outlet.
