Office Artillery at its Finest!

USB Missle Launcher delivers pure office terror.

Strike fear in the hearts of your co-workers with this military-grade office artillery weapon. This black and green USB Missile Launcher works in exactly the same way as our USB Cannon. Simply use the arrow keys and space bar on your computer to aim and fire at all who trespass against thee.

Foam MisslesSoldier, these are your missiles. There are many like them, but these ones are yours. They are your best friend, your life. You must master it as you must master your life.

Without you, your missiles are useless. Without your missiles, you are useless. You must fire your USB Missile Launcher true. You must shoot straighter than your enemy, who may be trying to lure you into an intra-departmental meeting. You must shoot him before they bore you to death. And yes, we like the movie Full Metal Jacket.

Each USB Missile Launcher comes with three missiles. You can buy additional ammuntion.

Software now available for Macs!

For those of you with an Apple, USB firepower is now available! While the software isn't fully supported by the manufacturer, it will do the trick. For more information about Mac support and extending the awesome functionality of these devices on the Windows platform, check out our blog entry.

Your questions that have been answered by the Vat19.com staff

Q: where can i buy it?
A: You can get your USB Missile Launcher right here!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Do you have to load software or is it plug-and-destroy-with-ruthless-efficiency? (Can't load anything at work. IT is so getting hit first.)
A: Yes, you'll need either the software that is provided with the USB Missile Launcher, or one of several free, independently-created softwares that you can locate by doing a quick search on the internet.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will this weapon make me impervious to attacks from left-wing militants?
A: While the USB Missile Launcher is fully equipped to decimate your most evil opponents, we can't be responsible for what happens if you don't wield your power with care and skill. A tool is only as good as the hands that guide it.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How exactly does it work? Is it spring powered or what? And are there any methods for decreasing the reload time and increasing the power?
A: We're pretty sure it works through some sort of crazy, spring-loaded magic. As far as the reload time and power are concerned, you might consider doing some internet research into the very active community of people who modify their USB Missile Launchers.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: how long does it take for the USB missle launcher to shoot once you press space?
A: The USB Missile Launcher typically takes a few seconds to prepare to fire and launch the missile.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Are these missile systems in any way a breach of the (START IV)Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty?
A: Yes, The USB Missile is in total violation. Get them now before they're confiscated by the government!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can you please take a vid of this in action?? And will it be able to fit ink re-fills (for fountain pens) to fire out of it.
A: You can view video footage of the USB Missile Launcher by clicking the "Watch Video Clip" button at the top of the page. We do not recommend firing fountain pen ink refills from your USB Missile Launcher, although we're quite certain that a determined prankster could figure out a way to make that work.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: is mac software included with purchase or only pc? i want this for my mac
A: The included software is for PCs. To use the USB Missile Launcher with a Mac, please refer to the last paragraph on this page.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How can you plug 10 launchers into a computer if it only has 2-4 places to plug them in??????

Q: Will these projectiles poke out my eye?
A: It is extremely unlikely that the USB Missile Launcher's missiles will poke out your eye.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is there any convinient way to mount a small USB camera to it for greater accuracy?
A: We haven't put our USB Missile Launcher through anything like that, so we're not sure if it would increase accuracy. If mounting the camera is your main concern, though, you might have good luck with either duct tape or those Velcro tabs with sticky stuff on the back.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How hard does the missile hit...>?
A: We don't have a measurement or rating for that. Getting hit with one of the foam missiles doesn't hurt, so long as you don't take a hit to the eye or face. It's like getting hit with a small Nerf dart.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is there a program in development that allows the launcher to shoot at the first sight of movement? (webcam required)
A: We're not aware of such a program, but we wouldn't be surprised if a general search turned up something like that.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is the missile launcher have a metal outer coating or is it plstic and is it wireless or it has to be connected with a USB cord into a computer to the launcher?
A: The USB Missile Launcher is plastic and requires a cord to be plugged into your USB port.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Does the cannon make any noise?
A: The included software for the PC has a number of sound effects (which can be muted). The unit itself makes some mechanical noise when it turns and when it fires.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is there any way to make the rounds more explosive? Or add other features like shrapnel or radioactive monkeys?
A: Absolutely. The sky is the limit when it comes to spicing up your USB Missile Launcher. And if you find a good source for radioactive monkeys, let us know!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Do you have to use your specific darts, or can you use Nerf gun darts or something?
A: You can use the included foam missiles or buy a pack of spare Busty Babes (see the USB Cannon page for a photo). We don't know of any other brand of foam darts that perfectly fit the USB Missile Launcher.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can you create acid tipped missiles so it burns the person when they get hit?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

A: You can devastate offices anywhere with the USB Missile Launcher as long as you have a USB port to use.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I continue to aim the missile launcher during the delay before firing? Also, how far can the missiles fly?
A: No. During the brief delay period, the USB Missile Launcher makes its "warming up" sounds and remains fixed in its position. The missiles fly 10-15 feet.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is this the same as ThinkGeek's USB rocket launcher? It seems like it is, but this one is $5 cheaper and only claims 180 degree rotation.
A: From what we can tell, this is the same launcher. After receiving your question, we grabbed the office missile launcher to verify the 360 degree claim, and it's true, it does rotate up to 360 degrees.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

A: Currently, the USB Missile Launcher is only compatible with PCs.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: If i purchased 127 of these devices and daisy chained them together on my desktop into powered USB hubs, would I be able to generate enough firepower to take out a cubicle wall and escape?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is This Question Realy Anonymous? and if i was to install the softwere on my usb flash drive will it leave any files on that computer? I would like to remain as ninja-e as possible that would be bad

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

A: Unfortunately, we're not aware of any USB Missile Launcher drivers made specifically for the 64-bit version of Windows Vista.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is there any way of making it more powerful and attaching sharp metallic objects upon the projectiles? It's my kids sixth birthday see.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will this mini nuke cause radiation poisoning or even mutations of my enemy's (perhaps making them stronger then before?) Or will they just look at me oddly?

Q: I don't want people to know I have it till I shoot em, can it be mounted on the roof (ie is it too heavy, will the missiles fall off) ?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Do the misiles really explode and hurt people its beacause i am 9 years old

A: Why must one choose? Can you not have your cake and pie and eat them both?

A: Yes. We have personally tested the USB Missile Launcher with a computer running Windows Vista.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I install the unit in my bosses office and fire it remotely when he deserves it? We are in two differnt cities.
A: If you were able to hide the USB Missile Launcher somewhere in his office and yet still in firing range, you'd have a chance. You'd just have to install one of those remote access programs on his computer and then access it when you're ready to fire. That's a lot of "ifs", though, and none of it assumes that he'll let you keep your job when he finds out what you're up to. We don't recommend it.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: what if you are using the arrow keys for something else such as a game, will it still work the launcher?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: can you change it? to a diffrent gun?
A: While Vat19 does not sell any different attachments, you might be able to muster up some geek skills and modify your USB Missile Launcher. Another option is to purchase the USB Circus Cannon, also available from Vat19.com.
