Grenade-Style Wireless Camera For Combat

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday November 17, 2008 @05:28AM from the you-gotta-be-kidding-me dept.

Make it so that the explosives can be blown after you check the video. If there are a bunch of men with rifles, blow the grenade. If there are women and children, retrieve it.
