HRKGuy Built An Airsoft Phalanx CIWS In His Garage
https://twitter.com/koogooroo/...7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_urLinkvideo has recently emerged showing what, at first glance, seems to be a Mk 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System, or CIWS, in someone's garage. On closer inspection, it turns out the Phalanx is actually a scale model which can spray BB gun pellets at an astonishing rate.
Yes, a guy built an airsoft Phalanx in his garage.
In the video, which can be viewed in the Tweet below, we see a miniaturized Phalanx placed on the back of a pickup truck facing a target. While it’s not immediately clear what the target was made from, heavy paper material seems likely. The video then shows it was no match for the airsoft Phalanx. Indeed, the spray of the BB gun pellets easily cut the target in two.

kkinaSome people just have way too much time on their hands. OTOH, that's one garage safe from close-range missile threat.

bronicabillI misread the title initially and thought it said he had built an "Airsoft phallus" in his garage!
