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?

I read the article...

1000 rpm at 325 fps. Airsoft speed.

very annoying, but not deadly.

Remember these are pellets. Most likely .17 or .22 caliber pellets.

Also remember that 1000 RPM is what its capable of firing. A select-fire assault rifle can fire thousands of rounds per minute but only to the capacity of the magazine.

If you drop a few crates of pellets or BBs into this thing’s hopper, I’ll take it, but if it’s limited to a 100 rd. mag, what’s the point?
