Now THAT's fun!

I was browing threw old hack a day pages and found an interesting link to the PEST project. I'm really not too crazy about pellet guns, butI have to say, this is probably as close to a machine gun as I would ever get, and it looks like it would be really fun!


Essentially, this thing uses an electric motor to spin pellets around inside of a small circular chamber. As they reach the outer edge of the chamber they come up to the top speed and are ejected at an impressive velocity. And since there's no chemical propellant, and no cartridge, it's possible to get very rapid fire without ejectinc casings and without it being legally declared a firearm! Can you imagine the fun this type of thing would be with airsoft pellets?
