I have seen solid streams hit the ground just like from a hose without a

Sorry - nope.

Even under high pressure/large volume, like a deluge gun you see on
top of some tower and ladder systems, the stream isn't strong enough
to resist air pressure and breaks up almost immediately.

Now, having said that, it is possible if you crank up to super high
voltage AND current, but even then it's problematic.
