DIY Airsoft Phalanx CIWS: Garage-Built Defense System
A man has built a miniature airsoft version of the Mk 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System in his garage. The airsoft Phalanx uses an airsoft M134 Minigun and can spray BB gun pellets at an astonishing rate. The real-life Phalanx is produced by Raytheon and is armed with a variant of the famous M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon. The airsoft Phalanx's dome serves as a tank holding in the region of 900,000 airsoft BB pellets. The miniature version stands at around 2.3 meters high, which includes its pedestal.
