    This is probably in the wrong section, So I apologise to the mods as it is only semi-nerf related.
    (Its only in the planning stages

    I have a mini-laptop and i was thinking that I could make a program to make the twin guns from aliens, Parts will not be hard to source nor will the programming, I'll probably give into my utter dislike for modding for the sake of coolness and power. My question to all of you is which nerf will be best to use. I was thinking either Vulcans or Stampedes.

    Any input would help?

    It would work like this
    Security Camera (Dicksmith)mounted in between both if camera turns on(I.E starts recording)a second device device the depresses trigger.

    Was this some relevant to the sentry gun? It would be quite interesting actually.

    Yes sorry, I didn't make that clear that hardest part will be making a mount.

    It would be awesome to see a fully remote turret blaster, that you could control from anywhere through the internet. Vulcan(s) would be a must, with like, thirty belts attached to each other, so it was one continual belt. Lots of shots!

    Yes i could control it from anywhere or have it automated or both ...simple computer "IF" statment covers that.
    As for the belts just a weight issue 3 or 4 with a high mount boxs could work.

    I reckon it would be a GREAT idea for stock wars too. However, I would set them up as 'traps'. Because, unless you figure out a way for the vulcan not to friendly fire LOL>

    This can too be programmed but way more complicated.

    Something similar to this maybe, but x 2...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGRBjCrnjhs

    Personally, I'd go for Stampede's, but the issue would be limitation of rounds.

    Vulcans obviously would be a better option for ammo count, but a major issue would be how wide the entire unit would be. You'll need fairly big ammo boxes mounted on either side, for feed of live belts, and receivership of empty belts - otherwise you'll strip the feed gears with belts that are too long/heavy. This would make the entire unit fairly heavy, requiring a decent sized servo for pan/tilt.

    I'm not saying it isn't possible, not at all. I'm rather interested in the whole concept as well.

    Good Luck!

    Well, there are those USB missile launchers that have an online control and webcam feature.
    Since the software has been made, all you have to deal with is salvage and modify the circuits, and upgrading the motor and power supply to get it working on a much heavier piece of equipment.

    The only problem is lag.

    As with any of these blasters, the thing that would be key is making a REALLY large ammo belt size. More the merrier.

    I've thought about that about 2 years ago, but didn't proceed with it, as I couldn't see a purpose for it in my current life situation.

    Locked room, computer off, no one else in the household.
    ie. Sentry won't work, and there's no targets anyways.

    Reminds me of my job, its quite funny really when I saw the nerf office war video on youtube because come 7pm friday it really is Sales Vs our Tech support as we are the only guys open past that hour.

    Granted I'm the only one in sales that has even the slightest engineering bone in his body so its Ben and his modded blaster with the rest of Sales stock guns v Tech support and the entire leigion (spelling?) of heavily modded blasters.

    You can't really butcher processing speed into a system.

    I've put alot of thought into claymore-type nerf mines. Motion senor -> actuator -> Titan internals -> multiple short, spreaded barrels. Alternatively several of those spring party poppers crammed with darts.

    Mate, you'll need to do a "sales pitch" to your sales team. I can hook them up with some modded blaster's!! lol
