You don't understand, I need that. Pair that with my web cam, I think I could implement a tactical strike defense system for my desktop.

No more viruses from my buddies getting on my computer and clicking every link they see.

Priceless!

Do you think I could mount my D70 on it?

I am going to get one, and launch at anybody whom sneaks up on me in my cube.

Where do you buy them? I didn't see a "add to cart" or anything.

yea but that can only be shot from your desk (BORING)

I like the Missile Launching Juggernaut better.

Or the shocking battle tanks that actually SHOCKS your opponent if you shoot his tank with yours!

Cool! Thanks for the links!!!

You all can pay $50 or more to shoot things at your co-workers. I'll stick to shooting rubber bands at them for free.

all this stuff... I may never get any work done again. Good thing I have control over the firewall here (im at work now) or I may actually have to work, rather than responding to stuff like this.

*what do they think they're paying me for...?

why shoot them for free though when you can get a rubber band machine gun for $25?

My mother inlaw just bought our 2 daughters some little nerf guns that launch the mini foam rockets. My wife and I fight with them more than the kids. Now I must have one of these because I can launch a sneak attack. And It would give me a reason to use my otherwise usless wireless mouse.

bizarely I've been building one of these recently!!

Using some Servos and a USB-servo board I've made a software controllable arm which enables me to fire elastic bands at people across the network, attaching a web cam lets me aim and shoot people at my desk, even when I'm in our other office 20 miles away.

Next task is to make it automatic, so it'll shjoot whenever it detects movement!!

I love being a geek!

That kinda reminds me of the Sentry Gun project. Check out the videos - pretty funny - they test out their project on themselves (D'OH! That's gotta sting!)

Now this could be fun (if I was a geek). Heck, I take that back, It'd be fun even not being a geek.
