The crazy musings of what I think is funny!

Geeks have all the fun!

Mike Yates and a laser hacker pal Duncan, designed and built the ultimate Lazer Tag Team Ops (LTTO) compatible IR (infrared and or IR detector) weapons system. The Scorpion’s most obvious feature is the 4 rocket magazine (gun power) which attaches to the top of the weapon. 4 Mac pneumatic relay/solonoids control the airflow from the 3000psi air tank to the various rockets through stainless steel plumbing. The trigger/grip for firing the rockets is from an actual tank and was found on eBay...In addition to being a rocket launcher, the weapon functions as a high powered LTTO sniper rifle with a 1500 foot range thanks to the 4″ adjustable focal length lens.

Mike Yates and his friends are hardcore laser tag players who play in as real as you can get outdoors such as abandoned military bases, using highly modified custom equipment.

Sometimes you see something that's such a ridiculous case of overkill you just have to stand up and say, "Way to go; that's the most awesome thing I've seen this week!" This is one of those times.

So way to go; that's the most awesome thing I've seen this week.

I don't even want to think about how much something like that would cost if these guys decided to make a business out of making costumed designed Lazer Tag military weapons, but I have no doubt that many grown up bois and gurls would be willing to put a heavy dent into a credit card for one.
