2''Fire Barrel'' (also known as ''Air Assault'') is a rather obscure [[VerticalScrollingShooter vertical-scrolling]] ShootEmUp made by Creator/{{Irem}} in 1993. The game bears many similarities to ''VideoGame/{{Raiden}}'', such as weapon types and the overall feel of it. Though it barely resembles it, the game is meant to be a sequel of sort to ''Air Duel''.
