You won’t actually hit any rats with one of these but the noise alone should scare everything within a few km radius …

Other than looking like a lot of fun, I am wondering just how much the tracking camera cost, as the projectile is supposed to be travelling in the km per second range – you can see how many frames per second are being taken there by the duration of the initial flash before the projectile appears.

Nice motto at the end on the badge as well – Velocitas Eradico – Speed Destroys.

    So that’s the equivalent energy to an artic travelling at well above the national speed limit. I’d love to see the bank of capacitors which store the charge!
