USB Circus Cannon [Tokyo Mango]

  • Why not just put in shotgun shells in there and have even more fun… seriously, this product is a lawsuit waiting to happen – all you need is one idiot who thinks it’s funny to shoot co-workers in the head and another in need of a cash windfall. My guess is this product is already banned from your local postal sorting station.

  • Even better are the versions with a webcam mounted on top for that extra accuracy for cross-cubicle shots. This would be a good gift with the USB powered shaver I saw earlier today.

  • Once again, another product powered via USB. What happened to regular old wall sockets. It would be great if this thing could also be controlled via the computer’s USB port. Imagine setting up a webcam and placing this at the edge of your cubicle. It will be like the old school BASIC game with the gorillas and the bananas except now it will be circus figurines. You would enter the angle and velocity in your computer and view the figurine launch across the room. Seriously, they need to stop the USB powered ridiculous devices.

  • Hey, I linked to that in a comment to the USB-powered shaver.

    The product I linked to even can be controlled by the PC. You aim the cannon with your computer.

  • Aiming this is essential. What is the cost of the paint-ball type missles? You are truly missing the target market (pun intended) – this is required support for being in boring meetings. At the sound of the buzzword…point and shoot. At the end of the meeting you can score for decent content versus babble.

    Pointing and shooting at the monkey power source…Take that!!

  • I’m loving the USB shaver! Even though the dotcom boom is over, I still find the nerf dart guns to be a must for any tech group! This “cannon” would be even better!!!

  • We can’t even use the USB ports at my job – then again, I work for the IRS. XD Looks nifty, but you’re ptobably better off using it at home or a relaxed office.

  • Well, now that I know you work at the IRS, I want you to buy this first thing tomorrow Isaiah and bring it into the office… shoot everybody who breaths… we are counting on you to make us all proud!

  • They have my badge, so I can’t even get in the building yet. :( I got weird looks for playing frisbee during breaks, so I know if I brought that in they’d have me out faster than you could say “potluck!”

    Might get it and shoot my sister at home, though. :D

    (Also, how did I mix-up the letters in ‘probably’ in my last post?)

  • Looks to be from the same guys who created the USB Missile Launcher, although between the two I’d go for the poke-your-eye-out missles
