The Tasty and a few other bloggers have been raving about a USB powered missile launcher which looked cool as hell.
Reading on in the post, it is only available here in the UK, exclusively to Marks and Spencer, so, naturally I had to rush down there and get one.
I installed it this morning in the office and have been pelting everyone in the IT department all morning since, everyone thinks it’s quite possibly the best thing that has ever come out of USB.
Software is included so it can be controlled, able to move left, right, up, down, as you would expect so that it can be aimed, it is actually quite versatile.
Here are some pictures of it in action;
Video of it in action coming later on :D
Thanks Blofeld for telling the location of the CD, it helped a lot!
I got my USB missile launcher online at http://www.vat19.com/dvds/usb-missile-launcher.cfm and it came with software. Very easy and very fun to use. That site has a video, but it is not the same missile launcher as seen in this post.
This thing owns. I have one dilemma… I lost the software CD. *cries* Anyone have an image file they can send me? Contact me at myappropriateemail@gmail.com if you do. I really need to get this thing running again, it kicks ass.
Angelo, I have mounted a logitech camera on my rocket launcher. I plan to write an intelligent surveillance system program which can automatically detect and attact the intruder.
Can you sent me your library please. Thank you very much!!

Thanks so much for these posts. I have been looking for the drivers for three days ya’ll made my day by having the software here.
I’ve released a new version of “Missile Launcher (mfire)” which allows for command line and graphical control under Windows (including Vista).
Ian,
Has anyone got any info on controlling the launcher in visual basic 2008? It dosnt seem to responce even to “send keys” when the app is open. Iv made a motion detector and was planing on linking the two together! I will give out the source once im done, if anyone has any info that will help please email me: kirgy9@gmail.com
Ian, where did you put your software ? And what kind of drivers do you need ? XP does not recognize anything when I plug it in…
Quite possibly the coolest office toy i’ve seen this year, and one that has quickly risen to the top of my Christmas wish list! – awesome.
does anyone know why is it that when i click fire the missiles wont launch
Hi there!
Would be very very happy if someone could send me a c#/c++ lib :)
here you go!

now I’m looking for someone that hacked it.. let’s say adding functions, as random shooting or nicer features. The software looks so cheap..
Great post. Been trying to learn a different language online but not having much success, considering going to a local course so this is useful, thank you.
Incredible! I’ve been hunting search engines for hours with this and i eventually found it in this article!
