I also want to be told good night by an Aperture Turret!

This movie short called B-11 was from the original Heavy Metal film but originaly had the music of Don Felder (Take a Ride).

"It is Based on original story by Dan O'Bannon. A World War II B-17 bomber nicknamed the "Pacific Pearl" makes a difficult bombing run with heavy damage and casualties. As the bomber limps home, the Co-Pilot goes back to check on the crew. Finding nothing but dead bodies, he notices the Loc-Nar trailing the plane. Informing the pilot, he heads back to the cockpit, when the Loc-Nar rams itself into the plane and raises the dead crew members as zombies. The co-pilot is killed by the zombie ball turret-gunner leaving only the pilot - who barely escapes in time, only to land on an island populated by zombified airmen."

The music featured here, although from the same movie was from the short: Harry Canyon featuring John Candy

I take offense to using this music with this clip. Sacrelige!

cool, but who's gonna man the turret?!

The History Channel is to history what baconnaise is to condiments.

I was trying (but have failed) to find a War Nerd column (highly recommended reading) on the subject of american military revisionism in WW2. The Sherman "makeover" as actually being a really nice tank and yadayadayada was part of a larger jingoistic effort during the start of the current desert wars. Remember those days of red, white and blue fever? Wonder if the History channel will make a doc on that...

As for the Sherman, you just need to look at it. I would call it a VW Beetle with a turret mounted on top, but that would be insulting a fine car.

The truth of course is that the real WW2 was fought on the eastern front and the might of the Wehrmacht was only halted by rivers of Russian blood.

is OK, I'll be happy to dupeof it myself, I didn't see the longer clip when I was searching for possible dupes (but I suck at seatching )

This short clip is wholly contained within another one that was just sifted, but I'm perpetually unsure of the rules regarding dupes when one is an abridged version of the other.

I'mma toss in a *dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/younger-brothers-meet-technology-paint-ball-turret on this one if the majority agrees, but please ignore if the developed tradition is to allow shorter clips.

Looks like the tracking is improved over the older version.

Now, is it just me or does it seem to be at its best when it has a nice, high-contrast target to track? It appears the shield might have been more a liability than protection.


It certainly looked like it, although I think he might have also been wearing several layers of clothing causing the majority of the balls that hit his body to bounce rather than burst, reducing our visual confirmation of the number of hits.

I bet they have the computer comparing what it sees to a snapshot of what the turret is supposed to 'protect', and it will fire at anything that is 'out of place' when it's active. There were a few times when he'd crouch and sit still, and the thing would just unload on him, but when he hid behind the tree it hold fire.

Either way, fix the issue with the paintball loading, and put some better speakers on that thing, and you have a truly terrifying contraption.

Okay, the Portal turret voice addition is fucking brilliant.

Gentlemen (and yes, I'm sure only men are still reading), our society has peaked.

Exactly... The gun turrets must be utter shit to miss a guy just flipping between them, the bad guys did an awful lot of standing around doing nothing. The flash bomb thing didn't actually seem to accomplish anything as they were all still standing afterwards. How the hell wasn't that flying thing hitting him with it's machine guns when he was running in a STRAIGHT LINE? You would think robots would be better at shooting than that! (same goes for scorpian thing).

Yeah, nice animation, does nothing for me in terms of wanting to see more of this though. At all.

I want to see a STORY for fuck's sake, not an action sequence.

They're dropped by a Raven, so there's a little teching up to do

SCV RUSH!!
