Hmmm... that scene from Robocop comes to mind.

As part of its security system, the Beatty Family created Mechatron, an “armored beast” with a mounted turret that can fire 1,000 pellets a minute

1000 rounds a minute for home security? Where do the Beattys live? Fallujah? Mogadishu?

Now visualize it with an app that can be run from your smart phone or laptop. You get an alert of an intruder, you check the video to make sure it’s not somebody you’ve allowed into the house, and then tell it to open fire.

South Korea has some interesting “Automated border turrets” too.

I think we should outsource our southern border to South Korean defense contractors.

As part of its security system, the Beatty Family created Mechatron, an “armored beast” with a mounted turret that can fire 1,000 pellets a minute, PCWorld reports. Intruders beware: This bot is armed and ready to take you on.

"But...but...I can't understand it. Mechatron has never done that before. He's always so gentle around our kids. We've leave him home armed and alone all the time, and we've never had a problem like this before."

(After Mechatron plows thru the fence and goes after the next door neighbor's kid, and straffs little Johnnie with 2000 rounds...)

Great comments and pics. I’m not gonna spoil it with wet-blankets about legal liabilities.

After what happened to him in the woods of North Georgia, I think we can cut Mr Beatty a little slack. Ned doesn't want any repeat episodes, and neither does his family!

Hey, pretty neat. Too bad it doesn’t vacuum the floors as well.

Sounds and looks like a modified paintball gun. I doubt you can get 1000 rounds per minute though. The biggest problem is the feed mechanism. It's hose fed not mechanically linked to the bolt so timing is a challenge. The faster the rate the harder is gets.
