Remote Control Missile Launcher

Nerf warfare just got mobile, with the introduction of the awesome RC Missile launcher.

10 independent Nerf Tubes are mounted on a tilt/pan turntable to give your ultimate flexibility. This is all moved around your make-shift battlefield by a surprisingly nippy & rugged tracked RC body.

This is the best RC I've seen in a while, but don't take my word for it. The Firebox link below has some excellent video of this little beast in action. Check it out for yourself.

"Why is it pointless?"

Nerf weaponary is soft, squidgy & safe. No good at all for deterring burglars in an annoying

"Why is it cool?"

Fast enough to chase a small dog. Enough fire power to make it yelp. It's cool (not that we endorse pet terror in any way).
