Creating an Explosive Barrel

For class we had to create an explosive barrel that reacts when you touch it and then flies off in a random pattern. I decided to make a propane tank since it will fit into my level a bit more.

We are also going to be creating a turret. I might have a helicopter in my level so I decided to create a turret inspired by one that may be on a helicopter.

Quick Sketch:

I went for a simplified version that might be able to shoot bullets along with larger projectiles.
