Wild New Website Lets You Shoot “Less Lethal” Ammunition From Gun Turrets in a Firing Range
What could possibly go wrong? The post Wild New Website Lets You Shoot “Less Lethal” Ammunition From Gun Turrets in a Firing Range appeared first on Futurism .
A newly launched website named Shov enables users to control remote guns from their internet browsers, firing non-lethal .68 caliber ammunition. The project, launched amid the increasing use of remote-controlled weapons on battlefields, has sparked controversy due to its provocative nature. Shov's pneumatic weapons fire rubber bullets capable of causing serious injury, similar to those deployed by law enforcement worldwide.
The website's founder, Domm Holland, describes the weapons as "extremely high pressure air, not gunpowder," and the projectiles as "hardened rubber." Players can purchase credits for $5 to shoot targets, with AI players filling empty seats. While Shov is not designed to replicate the complexities of modern warfare, the prospect of allowing anyone to control a gun turret raises concerns about the potential misuse of such technology.
