Internet Webcams? How About Remote Hunting?

by Shawn @ 10:26 am · filed under Weird Stuff

Leave it to someone in Texas to come up with something like this. Someone spent $10,000 to rig up a webcam and a rifle so people visiting the site can actually aim and shoot live animals as they wander around. Bizarre...

    I can picture some futuristic movie staring Charleton Heston where the “sportsmen” build robots that have night vision and heat vision and a rail gun on one arm and a sniper rifle on the other. And they send the robots out in the forest to “hunt” for deer/mouse/bear/whatever. Then all these “hunters” who just sit at home and watch the action on TV all while controling it via their wireless xBox 4 controller call it a sport and want the rights for their “Robosport 3000″ to bare arms. oh geez.

    Man, that’s weird… I was watching TV yesterday and these idiots were just vandalising some random dude’s car, all caught on CCTV. Needless to say they didn’t catch the culprits.

    I reckoned they should rig up a gun to the CCTV so that they could shoot the bar stewards, that way they’ll not do it again… even plastic bullets would do the job… check out the FN303 - http://www.fnhusa.com/contents/ll_303.htm
