A big-thinking Slovenian startup has created a curious smart security camera that doesn't just spy on your visitors, but will actively open fire on potential intruders with paintball pellets – or even tear gas rounds – with "ultra high precision." What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah paintballs are totally harmless, when people play paintball they wear full face masks just for shit and giggles. I doubt this thing can correctly aim to avoid hitting someone eyes with every shot, a little dirt in the barrel and just the wind can drastically change a paintballs trajectory. Be ready to pay for some innocent bystander’s eye surgery when you install this thing. Also when it freezes outside those paintballs will be as hard as marbles if they aren’t stored in a heated container.

Actual name is painball, not paintball
