A big-thinking Slovenian startup has created a curious smart security camera that doesn't just spy on your visitors, but will actively open fire on potential intruders with paintball pellets – or even tear gas rounds – with "ultra high precision." What could possibly go wrong?

High precision paintball is one of two things:

  1. First strike rounds. They actually have fins. Very unlikely that's what they're using.
  2. Accuracy through volume. If you throw enough paint downrange you eventually hit the target. I guess that's not technically precision. But it does get the job done.

If brute force ain't working, you're not applying enough of it!
