The fittings for the refrigeration system are probably pressure rated, but be careful of the refrigerant it may be toxic.

Also it might make a great target.

Possibly make a liquid cooled metal combustion? If done right that would look cool and high-tech.

If it has freon, your not allowed to do anything with it... you need like specialized people to take it away, cause (iirc) freon is a chloroflurocarbon which destroys the ozone layer

I say screw the ozone layer :twisted:

Yes, there is a compressor in refrigerators. It is used to compress the refigerent, when the refigerent expands it becomes cold and cools the fridge.

If it were'nt for the Ozone Layer we would get radiation posioning every time we step outside, all the plants would die and we would suffocate due to lack of Oxygen.

You could use the rubber strips on the door for a piston bumper.
Use the handle on your gun.
You might be able to use the light switch system on a cannon somehow.
Free wire.
The piping from it.
Free Lightbulb.
Fans for exhausting the chamber.
It might have some check valves in it.

Just don't do anything illegal with the freon, you could get majorly fined for it.
