POV

[edit]

This article reads like a thinly veiled advertisement for PROTECTOR. The page content should be information as to what an RWS is, with an Examples section that links to various examples of specific RWS implementations. Krb106 15:28, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to fix that. Tmaull 14:27, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DIY RWS

[edit]

Reportedly, someone named John Lockwood has created his own remote weapon system using a webcam and a regular hunting rifle. As such, it is possible to make a remote weapon system yourself (DIY). Please take a look at DIY RWS and include it into the RWS wikipedia article. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.183.252 (talk) 09:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think thats not a good idea. Yes it is possible to make one with some servo motors and a bracket. Woohoo. This is still an encyclopedia, not a DIY guide.Tmaull 12:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
