And although this isn’t necessarily gameplay footage, you can watch as some poor test subject wearing a BMX helmet gets pounded in several tests. So I’m gonna say its germane because, shit, it’s Sunday, and sentries are a treasured friend/loathsome foe in Team Fortress 2, Perfect Dark, and other games. And this is PC gaming, if getting shot to shit by a PC is a game.

Of course, having the laptop that operates it right next to it probably would not do well in a real firefight. Maybe it’d be a good burglar-blaster, but then, forget your keys, step in the door, and you’re taking a paintbath in the living room.
