USB missile launcher goes wireless

Never content with leaving their gimmicky products as is, the perfectionists over at Brando are prepping yet a third iteration of the wildly-popular USB missile launcher, with the new model featuring an upgrade to wireless control. Cubicle commandos now have over a 15-foot range from their workstations to wage this geekiest form of warfare, thanks to a two-part system that connects transmitter and launcher with a proprietary RF signal. If you happen to work in the type of environment that condones this sort of silly behavior, or just want to go out with a bang, the set can be yours for $45 starting on the 20th.

Nice, now you can place the missile launcher where it can actually defend you from the invasors

Are you trying to say Investors?

This is like playing AIR SOFT in a business environment.

Its too dangerous and too time consuming. Offices have already banned these things.

Imagine the kinda lawsuit you'd face if someone got hit in the eye?

You are bumming me out, man. I was all set to introduce my USB Office Flamethrower, but now you've pretty much killed my dream.

Hit in the eye from a nerf gun?
Quit whining.

[Andrew @ Dec 12th 2007 9:56AM]

Nerf banned? What is the world coming to?

[Eric @ Dec 12th 2007 11:42AM]

waaaaaaa. Such a bummer you are.

[Christian Martin @ Dec 12th 2007 4:20PM]

Well, I seem to still have a wired USB missile launcher not three feet from my head that hasn't been confiscated...

[carsten @ Dec 12th 2007 9:45AM]

I bet it only works with windows, dammit.

[Robin @ Dec 12th 2007 9:58AM]

Actually theres software out for the wired version for Linux and OS X so I imagine this will be the case for this version too

[Maestro @ Dec 12th 2007 9:52AM]

I want one yesterday.

[paragraph @ Dec 12th 2007 9:56AM]

hrrm, looks like someone might be able to hack this to make a cheap wireless USB hub... someone get hacking and prove/disprove and then i'll follow suit ;)

[Richard Lai @ Dec 12th 2007 10:01AM]

I thought I saw titties...

[ratnikh @ Dec 12th 2007 10:11AM]

I think I might try mounting one of these on a Robosapien set to patrol mode and find a way for him to give the command to fire...

Begun, the cube wars have...

around the office drones a perimeter create

[Mobius_1 @ Dec 12th 2007 11:16AM]

Patience, much work to do, you still have

[Mort @ Dec 12th 2007 10:26AM]

So, will this allow hacking into your enemy missile silo via your wireless connection?

Imagine the levels of warfare this will introduce.

[engadget @ Dec 12th 2007 10:39AM]

Add A WebCam And it's all set :D
Remote Targeting :D :D

Airsoft mod (http://www.inventgeek.com/Projects/usbairsoftturret/overview.aspx) + wireless = the ultimate cheap turrent!

[granny down east @ Dec 12th 2007 12:49PM]

Give me GPS guidance and I am in.

[Verb @ Dec 12th 2007 2:52PM]

It looks to me that this works via IR as opposed to RF. The red tinted lens inside a white dish is the tip-off. The linked website says nothing about RF and only mentions the product is "wireless".
