Crafted by the designer of the Virtual Crib [A href="vny!://www.engadget.com/search/?q=home+automation"]home automation[/A] software, the USB [A href="vny!://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-hopefuls-shot-with-bbs-at-kentucky-best-buy/"]BB gun[/A] sports automatic firing, manual reloading, and the ability to fire based on commands given remotely on a PC. Moreover, the weapon actually packs a webcam on the barrel, allowing users to login via computer, tilt / swivel the gun with simple mouse flicks, and fire away if you spot any intruders within its broad line of sight. It shouldn't need mentioning that we'd make absolutely sure our landlord was cool with mounting a remotely-controlled weapon in the window, but if you need to take home security into your own hands (without actually being at home), be sure to click on through to see this controversial creation spittin' hot fury.

Very cool. Perhaps a solution to Ms Pits (and our) Robin?
The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

I have my 22 pellet gun as well...but would have to take the fan out of the window...then the screen...then find the little bugger...by then...I would be awake...and could put my time into something a little wiser...LOL..like DS!!!!! Not bird killing!

Sawdust

I'm kidding Ms Pit. We don't kill anything, not even spiders. This was imparted to me many years ago By Mrs Sawdust. (ok mosquiteos are fair game)

P.C.

Sawdust used to laugh at me when I would put spiders outside......then I caught him doing it one day....and he still does.   There will be no killing in this house.   LOL
Sir Isaac Newton invented the swinging door....for the convenience of his cat.

I saved a fly at dairy queen once. I caught it and released it outside.
