The humble security cam is now ready and willing to choose violence.

A big-thinking Slovenian startup has created a curious smart security camera that doesn’t just spy on your visitors, but will actively open fire on potential intruders with paintball pellets – or even tear gas rounds – with “ultra high precision.” What could possibly go wrong?

    Never thought i’d see words “paintball” and “ultra-high precision” in one sentence… Also, are masks going to be mandatory on the property that has one of these set up? Because someone is going to lose an eye otherwise.

    I don’t even play paintball, but The Whiteboard has taught me quite a lot about it. And apparently the inventors of this thing know absolutely nothing about the subject.

      High precision paintball is one of two things:

      1. First strike rounds. They actually have fins. Very unlikely that’s what they’re using.
      2. Accuracy through volume. If you throw enough paint downrange you eventually hit the target. I guess that’s not technically precision. But it does get the job done.
