Just saw this on another forum -- using easily accessible components, Aaron Rasmussen explains how he created a sentry gun by mounting an FN P90 BB gun onto a tripod, connecting some servos, cameras and other bits and writing a target acquisition and aiming programme, which seems rather effective.
He explains how he built it here.
There's a short ~7MB Quicktime movie of the turret in action here.
He plans to add a laser range finder at a later stage as well as a multiple target identification and tracking system and has ideas for further applications, such as for keeping crows off cornfields or by mounting a camera instead of the gun and using it for wildlife photography. Very cool piece of kit!
Cheers,
