They'd have slow pull while standing up, but can be pushed on their sides and rolled for faster movement, but would have momentum to their rolls if you lose your grip
They'd have different states of open and closed, filling and dispensing, etc based on different tools, so you can pop tops off then or tap them like a keg, or poke holes in the side.
Pop the top off: Pour it all out (if on side), scoop entire containers' worth of chems (on end)
Tap it: Fill containers/partially
Poke holes: Slow drain
Rupture: Fast drain
I like this idea a lot, actually, the idea of rollable, momentum-y barrels. I want to find some visual compromise- maybe there would be a few different versions of these barrels? Metal drums in cargo/warehouse/engineering, transparent plasticky canisters in science, actual wine barrels in the bar/chapel.
