Hate Office Politics? Get a USB Missile Launcher…

The USB Missile Launcher is the ultimate deterrent against those annoying people who lurk around your desk because they’ve nothing better to do. This USB powered gadget holds three foam missiles, and Missile Command is located on your desktop for quick reactions to local hostiles. You simply use your mouse to control the launcher which rotates and tilts as you zero in on your victim, that, despite being deeply childish, is immensely satisfying. The Missile Launcher fires its three foam missiles sequentially as you hit the ‘Fire’ button, and though collateral damage is minimal, the fun factor is exceedingly high.
