I was talking with a friend who recently saw a segment on an ABC news program about a $100 pico projector. I've been living in the north woods for the past few months with out reliable internet access, and was curious if these really existed at that price point yet...

May 7th 2009 12:27PM Not a big ouch...
It only has a muzzle velocity of about 100 feet per second (110 km/h =100.25 f/s) and a decently large round. It also lacks riffling (the spiral groves in a gun barrel) so the range/accuracey will be reduced.
For comparison:
A $10 airsoft gun will fire a 6mm metal ball at about 200 ft/s. A cheep BB gun will shoot a .118 BB at about 300 ft/s. You local cop's 9mm round will leave his gun at about 1000 ft/s. Now that will hurt!
However, as with any projectile, a hit in the right place can cause serious injury or death.

If you are thinking of the 3D animation software I still don't get it. Is there is any way that is actually funny?
