There wasn’t anyone else there so the owner of the field and his team offered to play against us. What we didn’t know was that these guys rented us the most pitiful guns they had, and then whipped out full-on automatic paintball guns. My buddy was shot in the balls SIX TIMES. We never went back.

I’ve always wanted some payback on those paramilitary paintballers, and this is just the contraption I need. This paintball gun has 840 barrels, and it can shoot them all in what amounts to one shot. Sure, the thing was meant to make some sort of art to promote an energy drink, but so what. I’d like to stand those paintball guys in front of it.

Then, I’d flip the switch, and watch them get nailed on every inch of their body, then reload and do it again. I think it would hurt pretty badly. Not as much as six shots to the scrotum, but I would feel better. Check out the video below to see my tool of revenge in action:

The Celebrity is hunted worldwide by marksmen popularly known as The Paparazzi. To counter The Paparazzi’s flashing weapons, Harvey fitted a light sensor and 3 microcontrolled-LED lights in a clutch bag. The sensor looks out for changes in the ambient light, and once it detects a change – which in this case is supposed to mean camera flashes – it sends a signal that causes the LED lights to flash for 1/15th of a second, wrecking the photograph in the process.

Of course the device is useless against cameras with no flash, but it’s a start. It’s about time someone stood up for those poor Celebrities. Harvey wants to make miniature versions of his invention, but at the same time now that his baby is itself getting some attention, he’s working on obtaining a patent for it. If Harvey’s invention catches on, we might eventually see him cavorting with the stars – like Dame Jane Goodall and her chimpanzee friends – and bravely fighting for their right to party privacy.
