Airsoft CIWS anyone.

Cool, no doubt...but why??  What practical usage is it?  You could hardly skirmish the thing and I see little use for it as a prop unless you build the rest of the ship???

Not much practical use, other than as an event prop (or a publicity piece), a ‘ship’ is among the easy things to build on a site (which of course wouldn’t be a floaty thing)

That kind of rate of fire is no good for customers to be up against, but an automated system that fires bursts gives a difficult opposition with an objective to achieve 

We’ve had our own at our events, hired out to other events and featured on TV.

You can pit an MTV presenter up against one before they up themselves to B list ‘celebrity’ or generic players can fall into a puddle

I'd put one on one the porch roof for next time the jehovah's witnesses come knocking

 
I saw this, and would absolutely love one :D

The "why" is because he (Kogoro Kurata) can, he's also made mech robots before: https://popularairsoft.com/heres-giant-robot-duel-footage-you-have-been-waiting

He's made some other interesting pieces - some remote control items, some weapons / replicas, etc. - https://nandemotsukuruyo.com

Potential for vehicle-mounted fun on some larger sites / sims, but even on a tripod or a wheeled dolly it could be great fun, a kind of stationary juggernaut ?

Pipe dream: scaled-down version of airsoft CIWS an RC car/truck base, mobile death-spamming platform ? (bonus points for turning it into a Minion ?)
