If you thought the Room Defender, with its tripod-mounted, foam disc shooting, plastic kids-toy body was a bit weak, check out the USB NailGunner. Yes, it does the same thing as the Room Defender, shooting people who come within a certain range of your PC or laptop. But instead of shooting nerf-like discs, it shoots HOUSEHOLD NAILS.
Also, you have a 1GB memory card inside that stores MP3 files to play back when it's firing, and a 1 megapixel camera to take pictures of the target.
Tests have shown that it hits the target 85% of the time, and the screensaver displays a legal warning that they are not responsible. It sells for 11,499 Yen ($99) in Japan, including legal insurance.
Update: Bah, it's a fake. Shame on me.

umm. did you follow the links?
Great idea though, I have a few targets in mind.
Suckers!
I could easily make a C02 gun variant... but it could be a little dangerous, expecially to the rabits that eat my garden.
Still a pretty cool idea! I LOVE the screenpaper idea about not taking responsibility. I'd hook speakers up to it and throw a machine gun sound effect mp3 on it. Mod that baby to play when firing.
Oh wow, like I TOTALLY see Jesus in the wood grain under those nails! Does this mean the end days are nigh? Quality journalism like this really belongs in the end-caps at Supermarkets, don't you think?
Funny stuff, Giz, funny stuff.
Damn - I was getting my "Flight of the Valkyries" CD's ready.
