You know you want it! ;D

Can't get the thought of one with a 10/22 and a 75 round drum out of your head can you? :D :o :D

I think huntnelk just found the solution to his burglar problem! 8) Damn that is scary. Just what every firebase in Afghanistan needs. And yes, I do want one.

When I yelled for the damn kids to keep off the grass, I meant it!!!!!!
I'm sure a 10/22, or AR is in the works, if not up and running already.
What were those automated sentry's in the Terminator sequels?

If you could slow it down, just a bit, it'd be a great addition to an IDPA type of event. Targets that shoot back would sure add another stress level.

I wonder how that laptop would stand up to a direct hit by a water balloon.

Here's the adult version. ;D

Actually, that is pretty amazing to build it that small. What they show is basically the AEGIS anti-missle/ship defense system. An automated fire control system that can engage and destroy multiple targets faster than humans. The Navy needs a 500 foot destroyer to house it. These guys just need a brief case and a gun! :o
FQ13 who has always said there is nothing on God's earth more dangerous than a smart redneck who is good with tools and has too much time on his hands. ;D

Armed Autonomous sentries have been available since the 70's at least.
As for the size of the system, the Navy HAS a 500 foot destroyer to house them. The system itself has been small enough for vehicle mounting since at least the 60's since that is when the Soviets fielded the ZSU-24/4, (We already had the man portable "Red eye" SAM )
The only real innovation is that it was built by a couple guys, but even that is old since the video is from quite a while ago.

We were building tracking systems as college engineering projects 20 years ago. Ours was just to focus a camera, but it would work for anything. It was a $100 or less project back then.

I don't think I'm the only one who would like to hear more about that

Built an array of cheap passive infrared sensors (like used in motion-sensor lights). Number of sensors needed depended on the accuracy and range of motion wanted. Controller would find largest heat signature by comparing sensors and move the servos to match. Now that you jog my memory, the $100 pricetag included some serious student discounts and stupid good deals on surplus items.
Later projects were in signal processing to make target acquisition from standard video--needed supercomputers to do in real time then but now is built into most digital cameras. Once you found the target the ranging and lead were easy.

Hmm...wonder if the sensors have enough "resolution" to have the array run both horizontal and vertical, figuring center of mass would be the "hottest" sensor in the vertical plane.
Not only would it track horizontal movement, it would also compensate for squatting, crawling or laying down.

Just hook it up to a Saiga 12 gauge with a 20 round mag loaded with #4 buck. The elevation problem will take care of itself. ;D

Well, sure, if you want to settle for the easy solution :D :D

Even if it was as much as a $1000, it's still pretty darn cool ;D
