Jul 14 2008Impressive: Homemade Paintball Sentry
Some dude made a paintball sentry that automatically detects moving objects and lights them up (with paintballs, not light, silly!). It's pretty freaking impressive. Skip to 2:00 to see an impressive distraction test, 3:30 to see a kid on a trampoline getting destroyed, and then keep watching to see the thing shooting at a guy speeding by in a Jeep. The kid that made the unit hopes to sell them once he's fine-tuned the design, but claims, "My ridiculously low income is the only thing slowing me down." Tell me about it, paintball sentry maker, I'm right there with ya. My ridiculously low income is the only thing keeping me living in my parent's attic. Well, that and I've befriended the mice. Haven't I, Cheesy Weesy? You're my little mousey wousy, aren't you? Gimme kissy. OW, YOU BIT ME YOU LITTLE....uh-oh. Aw George, I can still tend the rabbits, can't I?
Some Guy Went and Built a Sentry Gun [kotaku]
Thanks to Harry and Sev, both of whom could easily dodge the paintballs with their l33t ninja skills

LOW INCOME?!?!?!
TWO TRAMPOLINES, SEVERAL CARS, A JEEP, A BIKE, SOME WEIRD BOUNCY CASTLE IN THE CORNER, A HOUSE, A LAPTOP, PAINT BALL GUN, AND ENOUGH PAINT BALLS TO SINK A BATTLESHIP!!
HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE ENOUGH INCOME WHEN YOU CAN AFFORD ALL THESE THINGS?!?!
Cool though :)

VERY VERY cool. That guy will get picked up by someone willing to fund the rest of the development for a piece of the profits. Kudos, that thing is sweet.

F***ing awesome.
Would be sweet to attach a barrel and a chain of 22long rifle rounds to that thing.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Wow, this would be perfect for home security. Those burglars are gonna get what's theirs!!
12. Eric - July 14, 2008 4:30 PM
Seriuosly, load that with pepper balls and you have a less than lethal home security device for anyone who's had problems with vandals. Hit them with enough pepper and they'll probably be crying long enough for you to call the cops and have them come pick them up.

#11 Hahahahah
This came up as an idea for home security for us!! I get my fence tagged and thought this would be good retaliation to those armed with the spray paint....
14. wanks - July 14, 2008 7:26 PM

15. poooop - July 15, 2008 12:14 AM
how do we all know that this guy didnt attach a camera to a gun and has really really good aim? I doubt the veracity of this vid.
16. Vautikos - July 15, 2008 1:01 PM
#15: Should've watched the video all the way through. Near the end (shooting at the jeep) there is a second video taken from behind the sentry, of the gun in action. It's legit.
17. friendlystoner - July 15, 2008 1:09 PM

I am sure I have seen this on you've been framed . There are a lot of comedy trampoline videos online and this is one of the best.

We purchased one of these trampolines when we were looking for one online.
