No, he didn't assemble it by whacking a large wrench against a pile of parts either. But this guy is a serious engineer, cooking up an auto-fire paintball sentry gun. And although this isn't necessarily gameplay footage, you can watch as some poor test subject wearing a BMX helmet gets pounded in several tests. So I'm gonna say its germane because, **** , it's Sunday, and sentries are a treasured friend/loathsome foe in Team Fortress 2, Perfect Dark, and other games. And this is PC gaming, if getting shot to **** by a PC is a game.
Note that this weapon is not being fired by remote control. It's recognizing moving objects and firing on them automatically. The distraction test is a pretty good measure of its abilities.
Of course, having the laptop that operates it right next to it probably would not do well in a real firefight. Maybe it'd be a good burglar-blaster, but then, forget your keys, step in the door, and you're taking a paintbath in the living room.
all this thing needs is a cute little voice that says stuff like "i dont hate you," "hellooo" and "are you still there
That is awesome! Very impressive speed tracking. It seemed to be a little weak on the slow tracking. It seems that if someone walked slow they may not get shot at.
Wow bad ***. I want to see some blue prints or what ever he used to design the thing? How it works, you know.
My guess is some kinda IR sensor. looks like it covered and area about 80 degrees in front of it. I want to see what he used for the trigger. I know they sell auto triggers for paint ball guns but i don't know if they can be activated by a comp of what ever.
Well this design isn't anything too new or revolutionary as far as the military is concerned. But it hasn't really made it's way into the public sector.
