Now that's what I call home defence!

GIRL SCOUTS!!! Say hello to my little fwiend!!!

i'd put it outside my room.

Jehovah's Witnesses = owned.

I can only assume there's supposed to be an image there, 'cause I'm not seeing anything...

My post? No, I'm just dreaming of the possibilities.

Fenrir, mouse over the smilies.

My wife was a Jehovah's Witnesses untill she got sick and tired of all the BS they had to do.

I have actually been giving serious consideration to building a sentry turret with twin airguns. Mainly for the technical challenge but also to protect against the sort of thieving scum who exist in every city, not just Bristol. If they're going to break into my house, they take their lives into their own hands...
Because image-recognition-based IFF isn't the most reliable technology when homebrewed (or otherwise, for that matter) this little project has been dropped.
A remote-controlled turret has definite possibilities, but I might load it with tranquilisers instead.

Damn, that'd be useful as hell at Halloween time...damn kids wanting their candy...
...i'll give 'em candy alright...at several hundred kilometres per hour!!! :devil:

That's sig material right there.

Hey Maeg, you seem to be pretty handy with all the shop stuff, why don't you give it a shot? If you can make a guitar from scratch, a gun attached to a rotating platform shouldn't be too difficult. Get someone to program the software (we have plenty of capable coders round here) and HLP will be the only web forum to have it's own automated defences.
-
Yeah, you can put it outside Gamespy's server arrays to protect them from Rupert Murdoch. :p
-
This would make a very interesting project. I would give it a shot if I had the time.
-
It's too bad the gun on it sucks ass.

[color=66ff00]Actually I am working on invisible wavelength, computer controlled, high fire rate, anti-personnel weaponry in my spare time.

Well, P90 is quite a good weapon as far as I know (I'm not a weapons expert and not planning to become one) and having a non-lethal airsoft replica on this sentry is very smart. Otherwise authorities might stop by and take the dangerous thing away in a flash, might also make a hefty fine at that as well.
-
[color=66ff00]Not to mention a real P90's recoil might require a whole lot more stabilisation to work properly and its weight would need larger motors and consequently a bigger power source and... well it would just be a bad idea to be honest. :)

P90 ftw! But ya, i'm pretty sure that's a **** airsoft gun.
-
P90s are nice.
****ty airsoft P90 replicas with horizontally mounted open mags, holding 400 BBs in one big ass chamber are not. Ever try to airsoft against humans with one of those? Despite the fact that it's FPS sucks, you sound like a ****ing F-14 when you move at anything faster than a crawl.

Re: Spudguns.
I think everyone knows someone who's built a spudgun capable of firing whole potatoes. At College, I knew two people who built them (firing apples through chickenwire is a fun way to make apple sauce, or just waste a lot of fruit).
But I think my design for the Spudder 500 would still shock a lot of people.
It's basically a potato chaingun. A breach-loading weapon, it's fueled by electricity, aerosols and potatos.
The potato drops into the loading port, where the bolt forces it forward into the barrel. As it moves forward, the ignition chamber within the bolt is filled with 'propellant', which is ignited when the bolt is fully forward. The bolt then moves backward to accept another spud.
The loading system proved to be a bit of a headache. Merely dropping spuds into the breach wouldn't always work (a large one might jam the bolt) so I came up with the idea of using sections of pipe preloaded with potato. However, the mag size would be limited. And preparing mags would be time-consuming.
So maybe a rotary breach block, a bit like a revolver, with a robotic loader at the bottom which would force the spud into the lowermost barrel.
The goal: 50spm (spuds per minute).
