Keep your territory secure with this great USB Missile Launcher.
USB gizmos just keep on getting better! The latest weapon in office warfare technology, the ICBM (that's Inter-Cubicle Ballistic Missile) plugs into any standard computer USB port. The control centre software allows you to control the azimuth and elevation (that's side-to-side and up-and-down for non military people out there). When you have the target locked in your sights, press FIRE and the computer launches a foam missile, complete with whooshy missile sound effects!
You know a gadget has really caught on when hackers start producing modifications for them. Not satisfied with the bundled Windows 2000 / XP control panel, there is unofficial support for the Apple Mac, and for Linux. Or you could do what we have done here in the office, and tape a web cam to it. It certainly keeps visitors on their toes when they see a missile launcher tracking them around the office!
The missiles are launched by strong springs and have a range of about 3 metres, but as the missiles are nice safe foam, you are unlikely to do any damage unless they land in your manager's coffee and he gives you a clip around the ear.
Note: The bundled software supports Windows 2000 and XP, but for those more adventurous people running a Mac or Linux, you can try third party missile control software- please note that use of third party software is not supported and at your own risk.

Rated ![]() Review by A viewer from Shropshire on 12/11/2009 |
| I can give no honest appraisal yet. It looks good and from the write up it sounds good, but as it was bought as a Christmas present, I will have no idea just how good it is until AFTER Santa has called. Ask me again - after Christmas. |
