BB Bug

For many years I've been trying to breed a Heckler and Koch MP5 with a walrus to no avail. And although this particular item probably can't be used to take over the world in the same way as my would-be walrus assassin, I believe it's the next best thing.

The beetle crawls around on its six legs, and is "steerable" by the mini 5 button infra-red remote control which provides 5 indispensable buttons - forward, reverse, left and right turn, and fire!
Strapped to the beetle's back is a cannon, which can be loaded with a number of BB pellets. Pressing the red button in the centre of the remote control fires off a pellet.

So what's next then? AK-47 spiders? A milipede with a whip?
Who knows, but in the words of Bill Bailey, it can only end with "Human slaves in an insect nation, ahh ahh ah ah ah!"
